Victoria Baths, Manchester - Multi-coloured Art Nouveau Stained Glass

            Beautiful Glass. Art Nouveau not Art Deco.

Victoria Baths is (are?) a listed building in Manchester, on Hathersage Road, Chorlton-On-Medlock, not far from the "Curry Mile" in Rusholme.

It appeared on the BBC's Restoration programme a few years ago and got a fairly sizeable sum to help to restore it to its former glory. We've not been for a while but they seem to have made steady progress over the years, but it is far from the finished article, so to speak.

The place attracts visitors from all over the world. I was standing outside having a chat with another Flickr member, Andy, when a taxi drew up with an American lady in. She said that Victoria Baths were first on her list of places to visit in Manchester, just having flown in from New York.

Loads of progress has been made in the Turkish Baths section and this awesome stained glass window (known as the Angel of Purity) is in the cooling down section (I'm sure it has a fancy name but I'm not sure what it is - but it probably ends in -ium).

Well worth a visit but please check the opening times as there are only a few days you can gain access.
