Public washing baths

I spotted this interesting building in Shacklewell, East London, near where I get my hair cut. It was formerly a communal bath and washhouse providing facilities “for the working classes”. It is now a children's community centre.

@gaylewood @onewing @shylaine3304 @jamibann @karens54 @thewatersphotos @helenhall I'm glad there isn't the need for public washing baths anymore but I enjoy the history. Thanks for your appreciation
