Re: Ashton Baths

Hi David,
Got the book "The Battered Cherub" from the library, apparently Joe Gormley was born in Duke Street.

Too late for Ashton Baths he was born in 1917

Re: Re: Ashton Baths

If my memory is correct, Ashton baths never opened to the public, it was built on a fault line that also runs under the Old Evans county primary school.
in the school cellar there are still slithers of glass cemented across the cetral structure foundations, the idea being if the fault moved again the glass would crack as an early warning.
