| | | Town Hall and Public Baths - Jan. 2010 < on 6/1/2010 8:51 PM >
| | | I first went for a look at this place to see the public baths, which are currently in limbo - they might be restored, or they might be demolished. The baths themselves are glorious:
Down into the basement, and it gets even better - a network of underground tunnels and rooms that extend way beyond the baths, under the neighbouring town hall.
Stacks and stacks of old plans and books:
A backstage area:
The stage itself:
Up in the attics above the stage:
And finally down to the cells where prisoners were held before appearing in the neighbouring court:

| | | Pity this place has been locked down and belled up now, thanks to its massive overexposure on forums. Chris...
We all had ostriches. My dad had an ostrich farm! I remember one day someone came in and said the high altitude bombing of Kosovo had been a limited success, so we all went out and celebrated… by killing an ostrich and boiling it in kiwi fruit. |

| | | It's always been belled up - and was still accessable last time I checked a couple of weeks ago. There have been workmen in there, though, so of course that may have changed.

It was belled up in such a totally ineffective way that the alarm at full tilt could hardly be heard from the street and with just a couple of badly installed PIRs. That's not the case any longer, sadly. Chris...

| | | If public baths in the UK are anything like public pools in the USA that place should stay abandoned on account of all the urine.

oh i guess i should have gathered that on my own seeing as how he doesnt have his location listed under his screen name. that, and coupled with the second poster having his location listed as being in England talking about he, too, had been there. how incompetent of me. plus, i should have known by his accent in his typing. oh well, ill try harder next time [last edit 6/9/2010 10:33 PM by Durdan - edited 1 times]

Always better to just assume and be wrong than check other threads or ask, for sure. But you are right - it's a bit ambiguous; that's why I'm telling you.
Posted by Durdan that, and coupled with the second poster having his location listed as being in England talking about he, too, had been there.

Well that's easy explained matey - this location is visited by a lot of non-locals, in common with every Scottish location that gets posted on certain UK Forums. Chris... [last edit 6/10/2010 9:12 AM by TurboZutek - edited 1 times]

| | | After a location gets blown up on some World famous UK Urbex!!11 sites and everything of interest from the location is stolen, people from as far away as Australia flock to the place to get caught and ruin it for everyone.
