NH 663 457 An archaeological desk-based assessment and photographic survey were carried out at Glebe Street swimming baths in January 2001. The desk-based assessment revealed a considerable amount of information regarding the development of the site over the last three centuries. Domestic dwellings occupied the site during the 18th century. During the 19th century, the site was developed and occupied by a thread factory and distillery. Later the factories were cleared to build a swimming baths in the 1930s. This work incorporated an ornate classical entrance with triangular pediment. These features and all other aspects of the 1930s building construction were photographed as part of the pre-demolition record.
