Swimming baths at North Road in Brighton, pictured in 1979
Taken in 1979, this picture of the swimming baths at North Road in Brighton is not as most people remember them.
The grim looking baths were being demolished at that time because they had gone years past their sell-by date.
Dating from the Victorian era, they had water which always seemed to be cold, and cavernous, gloomy changing rooms.
A section of the baths was preserved and used for Brighton Council’s workplace nursery. The Prince Regent swimming pools nearby replaced the old building in the 1980s. The name was chosen through a competition.
The picture is from the collection of local historian David Rowland.
