Ironmonger Row Baths


T
his is more like it. Ironmonger Row reopens after £16m refurb.

Thanks to Rowan Arts I managed to get invited for a free swim in the pool which started this blog

Despite the magnolia tiles this place still has heart and soul.

Managed to do the worst inaugural dive ever which left me with a head full of chlorine and blinded in one eye. I slightly redeemed myself by swimming a maiden refurbished mile.

Terrible showers but settled for a preview tour of the building with a bit of free cake and a mint Viscount thrown in for good nostalgic measure.

Great afternoon.Will return to use the Turkish baths, but there again I said that back in April 2010.

Home for homemade fishy fingers, samphire and Spanish plonk.
