We have lost far too much of our heritage in recent years. http://www.wirralglobe.co.uk/news/1...re_and_reopen_iconic_Byrne_Avenue_baths/ If I accidentally express an opinion then I humbly apologise, please give me a polite reminder that there are highly sensitive and nefarious people that don't like opinions, facts or history - but still visit forums!

In the mean time they need to stabilise what they have got to make sure it doesn't deteriorate any further. The Council must believe in them, as they are getting harder to convince on these community takeover deals recently.

Just saw this pic and considering the state of the place ( thought it wouldn't happen ) when they first showed it , great progress! Would love to see the old place in use again .

Maybe they are working from the top down in the restoration because the walls still need work. Any pictures of what it looks like under that scaffolding Cools? Here is a picture from the Echo, 2017. https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/byrne-avenue-baths-plans-revealed-13850108

I was about 9 years old and was watching these two 7 years olds with 1 arm each actually swimming. I should be able to do that with 2 arms. So I did. Seeing this photo brought it all back and going there for our school swimming carnival.
