Does anyone remember anything about Attercliffe Baths?

I went from school every friday. I learnt to swim there. One or two good memories but you had to learn fast as at the end of the session we all had to line up by the deep end to receive our plastic tuppenny token to get the tram back to lane top.

The manager Mr Parker wouls ask after some five weeks in if you could swim, a "no" would get you thrown in!

Like I said, we learnt fast!!!

I went from school as well, late 50's early 60's. In the late 70's I worked at the bottom of Newhall road and went to the baths at lunchtime. Often there would be only two or three there. I'm sure the attendant was Harry, good man, smoked parkdrive while we swam. He coached me in swimming properly and improved my style dramatically.

A good man!
