Details from around the Victoria Baths

I wrote a bit on Monday about Victoria Baths and how amazing it is. It was nicknamed the Water Palace and it truly feels like a regal place. There is the most incredible attention to detail and fancy stained glass that I don't think I've ever seen in modern buildings.
From the way the changing rooms were designed to the ceiling supports, everything is just a bit more special.










For a building with such a utilitarian purpose (originally people came here not just to swim but to wash and clean themselves) it really is a palace.
