What an austere place the old building was. I remember it well as we had to pass it going to and from the library and baths. Love the modern aerial photo though. Thank you.

I learned to swim at the baths on Union Street, during the war one pool area became a restaurant, we ate there from time to time, after swimming a doughnut at Togos was a nice treat.

A pennyworth of wafer biscuits from Meschia's was our after-swimming snack. Think I'd have preferred the doughnut though!
