Maden Public Baths
The baths were opened in December 1893.

Building News reported &quot;Each entrance will be of sufficient width for double turnstiles in and out, in addition to a pass gate in the centre, with latch available for visitors, officials, etc, who are not bathers, so as to have a complete register. The women and first-class men use one entrance, and the second-class men the other. With this arrangement it is provided that women can occasionally have the use of the first-class swimming-baths within certain hours of the day. The position of the laundry is such as to make it convenient for the attendant to pass from thence to the women&#039;s baths (which are situated over the entrances) without loss of time. The laundry and washhouse, with drying-closet, are placed over the boiler-house, which is provided with two boilers. ... There are six slipper-baths for women, three of which would be considered first-class, and three second-class, the difference being principally in the fitting up of the baths with shower, etc. There are six slipper-baths for men, three of which will be first-class and three second-class; each will have a shower-bath. ... Each swimming bath is well lighted from the roof with inclined vertical lights.&quot; <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://manchestervictorianarchitects.org.uk/buildings/maden-public-baths-rochdale-road-bacup" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://manchestervictorianarchitects.org.uk/buildings/maden-public-baths-rochdale-road-bacup">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>
