Oral Archive

Many people living in Bath and the surrounding area recall using the spa prior to its closure in 1978. Some learned to swim in the Cross Bath, took part in swimming galas in the Beau Street pool, or received treatment in the Hot Bath or Beau Street Treatment Centre.

If you have memories of the old spa and would like your story recorded, please tell a member of staff in this Visitor Centre.

Our thanks to all of the people who contributed to this fascinating record of the spa up to 1978 and to the Millennium Commission for the Enhancement Grant funding that made this oral archive possible.
