The Newcastle swimming baths where you could have cooled down in heatwaves of years gone by

It’s the sort of weather where a cooling dip in the baths seems like a great idea.

And if you did it in Newcastle in years gone by, these might have been some of the places you headed to for a swim.

Thanks to the Newcastle Photo Archive, we can share these views of the baths at Scotswood, Westgate, Snow Street or Northumberland Road.

There are views from the 1960s onwards and if you want to find out more about the fantastic online photo database, click here.
