Victoria Baths Sun 19th Jan 2014

Four of us went to Victoria Baths to continue helping with the improvements at the Baths.

 
This time we were stripping paint from under the balconies in the Second Class Males pool area.

As you can see we wore protective gear - safety glasses, dust masks and white paper
suits! - very fetching!!



We first tried removing the paint using long wooden broom handles with scrapers attached but this didn't really work so we stood on platforms so we could reach.

We were really lucky as Neil, one of the volunteers at Victoria Baths, gave us a tour of the building and explained all the improvements that had taken place since they won the BBC Restoration program 11 years ago.
