Bristol North Baths


December 2011

This grade 2 listed building was commissioned in 1912 as part of a string of municipal pools in Bristol. It was completed in 1917 and almost immediately requisitioned for war purposes. It opened as a pool post war. During winter the pool was too cold to bathe in, so in the years between the war, every late autumn the pool was boarded over and the building was used as a cinema, then the boards were removed in late spring turning it back into a pool. In more recent years the pool was run by Bristol City Council, but for various reasons, and much to the anger and disappointment of the local community, it was shut in 2005. It is currently undergoing development to be converted in a community health centre.
