They were on the site of what is now Port Sunlight Garden Centre. A brilliant place to go for a swim, because the water was heated.

Water was heated using steam from Lever's factory nearby, used to swim there in the winter with steam rising from the water. Had a season ticket in the form of a little red book they called a contract.
