See inside the beautiful Victorian building that almost got demolished
It's hard to think that Victoria Baths were once going to be demolished. The beautiful Victorian building fell into dereliction in the '90s when Manchester Council could no longer afford keep it open. Fast-forward to 2015 and, thanks to Friends of Victoria Baths, the pool's bleedin' beautiful once more.
