Our Edwardian pool is the last working pool of its era in Manchester and we are working hard to bring it back to its former glory. Although not originals, we do still have pool side changing rooms and our pool side showers have recently been refurbished. We also have a Nordic sauna, tucked away in a quiet area, poolside. Our pool is now used extensively by our local community.
