Had a bit of a road trip last month up to Scotland and visiting a few places on the way, and this was a great start to the trip! The place is by far one of the coolest places I've seen, and most of the graffiti actually improves it. Entry was a bit dodge but a laugh. The place was closed in 2008 and is now absolutely trashed, but I like it like that, would be pretty boring to have just seen a bog standard swimming pool.
Some history (lifted from another forum)
John Wilfred Green designed and engineered the build that was officially opened in 1932 at a cost of around £31,500. Separate entrances were provided for men and women, with a ticket office between. The entrances led to separate waiting halls, where doors opened onto the first and second class Slipper bath corridors and Bath Halls. The Building was closed in July 2008 when the close by Freeman’s Quay Leisure Centre opened. There was plans for the building to be demolished for Housing plans however due to the state of the ecomony, plans fell through and it has been left to slowly rot away.
