The fate of Manchester's Victoria Baths - a Victorian building on Hathersage Road - lies in your hands and at your fingertips! The Baths are being featured in BBC2's "Restoration" programme - a "Fame Academy" for listed buildings where the public can vote for which should receive £2 million prize money towards its restoration. The Baths have already won a preliminary vote to get in to the final.
The Friends of Victoria Baths want to restore the key facilities at Victoria Baths for everyone to use. If Victoria Baths wins the BBC vote, money will be avail to restore and re-open the Turkish Baths - a first step, they hope, towards restoring the whole building.
The Turkish Baths suite contains amazing stained glass windows, the entrance hall has mosaic floors and floor to ceiling tiling. Victoria Baths is well loved by the thousands of people who have used it over the years.
