The Old Swimming Baths
Built in 1924 and opened in 1926. The architect was Leo Dodsley, the grandson of Squire Dodsley of Skegby Hall. It was funded by miners and had slipper baths as well as a swimming pool. The pool could be covered by a solid maple floor to allow
dances, boxing and wrestling matches to take place. The building became redundant
when the new leisure complex was built on The Lammas in 2008.
In 2014 a block of residential apartments was built on the site. Part of the original
façade was included in the new building.
