Victoria Baths is one of the most stunning buildings in the UK and visitors get a unique insight into the splendor of Victorian architecture, and the social structures of the time. Victoria Baths is one of the first venues that The Village Screen adopted and remains a regular venue. Village Screen is proud to support Victoria Baths in its endeavors to achieve full restoration.
Victoria Baths is a Grade II* listed building, in the Chorlton-on-Medlock area of Manchester, in northwest England. The Baths opened to the public in 1906 and cost £59,144 to build. Manchester City Council closed the baths in 1993 and the building was left empty.
When Manchester City Council decided it had to close Victoria Baths in 1993, there was a vigorous reaction in the local community. Manchester residents greatly valued the Turkish baths, the Aeratone, the swimming facilities, and the building itself.
The campaign to try and prevent closure of the Baths became the Friends of Victoria Baths and a charitable trust - the Victoria Baths Trust - was set up with the aim of fully restoring the building and bringing the Turkish Baths and at least one of the swimming pools back into public use.
As of 2009, the building is on English Heritage's Heritage at Risk Register.
