I went there often on the one day of summer we used to get between 1955 & 1960, we didn't swim as it was too cold, we only went to perv on the girls.

Has it gone now ?

I packed in going to Millhouse Baths when I found out about Longley baths. whilst it was at the opposite end of the town it was a shade warmer. A normal size pool and well attended. Started going in the mid 50s and continued to the mid 60s. Mostly on a Sunday and in the latter years after work in mid week. Happy times

I remember going to longley in the 70s one of our group fell asleep a d woke up burnt he looked like a stick of red and white rock. Later that week the skin on his chest peeled off in one strip we thought his pain was very funny

I did'nt. Caught a bus to town and then a tram to Barnsley Road. Sometimes walked to Heeley and got a tram straight through. Further than Millhouses, but a warmer pool
