I worked in an office in the old baths upto about 5 years ago. It is weird in there I used to go in as a kiddy swimming. Happy times.

Our school (st Charles) used to go for swimming lessons in the 60's. As kids we would go on a saturday also. Just through the doorway in, to the left was the footbath. Sometimes it would be filled with really hot water. We would spend ages sat in it until we got outed. Sure I remember at one time the deep end had small diving platforms, think they got removed when I was about 6 or 7 so didn't get to use them. They stopped all diving in, or at least tried to.

Once got a free term pass from school, along with Susan Kelly. Some happy childhood memories of the place.

My gran worked at the baths in the 1960's. I learnt to swim there, my gran paid for private lessons for me. Sometimes if I was there early enough I'd have the pool all to myself. I remember walking down to the baths from Woodbourn Road school for swimming lessons. One teacher used to walk a "crocodile" of pupils down there all on his own. Happy days.

glad all the memory's are coming out good and bad. l was forced to swim there. then later married the caretaker of the baths changed my jobs to work there thinking that it was a dream job mind you it was in the late 70's. the life of ATTERCLIFFE was swinging with life in all area's the steel works the gipsy's camps all the back to back housing, all the gone now. cockroach's used to go from the grayhound pub to the baths for the warmth god the thought of them things still cant walk about in the dark now

 

They were very close, almost opposite a fruit and veg stall, close to the upstairs roller skating rink. The old joke about Attercliffe baths was that the heating was supplied by a man going around with a kettle!

Hi Jamestee, I also went to Att.Baths but got a veruca so was stopped,disease prevention!! By the time it had healed swimming lessons were no longer provided by Newhall Junior School.I recall slipper baths but I lived in one of only 8 houses in the whole of Attercliffe that had indoor bathroom and toilet - LUXURY. (On Don Rd.)

Any one remember buying 'penny loaves' from a shop on Attercliffe Common just to the right of Newhall Rd.top as you look from the baths?

My fear of swimming lasted till I was 29 but I did learn then. Still petrified of water though!
