Thanks for the comments so far everyone, really useful stuff. Sorry you had such a miserable time at the baths Firbeck, in part answer to your question, I don't want to re-use the building as baths but rather find ways of re-using fragments of the architecture as historical reference sculpture. The site has great facades all around that are let down by shabby buildings behind. Parts of the facade have ornate white terracotta detailing that, if cleaned up could look great, so I was thinking about keeping the facade and then enlarging the window openings down to the ground so you can walk thro

Apparently there was a pub on the corner of what was chapel street and is now an extension of highurst street
