Glossop Road Baths

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Glossop Road Baths is a building in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England which originally housed a swimming pool and Turkish baths.

The first public baths in the city were opened on the site in 1836, following the cholera epidemic of 1832. The complex was rebuilt from 1877 to 1879 to a design by E. M. Gibbs, including an indoor swimming pool was opened, a Turkish bath suite and a hairdresser. In 1898 the complex was bought by the city council and a ladies' bath was added. The facade was rebuilt in 1908 - 10 by Arthur Nunweek.

After a period of decline at the end of the 20th. century and then closure, the building was largely converted to residential accommodation, with a Wetherspoons bar in the former main swimming pool area. The Turkish baths were fully modernised and reopened as Spa 1877 in 2004.
