Doncaster st James baths


the building which played host to a concert by The Beatles in the 1960s, was one of the town's thriving and most popular leisure centres.The building is a Grade II listed structure after late community campaigner Ray Nortrop secured its survival because it housed one of the country's few remaining original Turkish Baths in the basement.

The Turkish Baths were one of only a few originals remaining in Britain.The building closed down in 2013.
