Newcastle’s bathing beauty

Gibson Street Newcastle baths 570

A 4,843 sq ft freehold building believed to be Britain’s oldest public bath house is being offered by Lambert Smith Hampton.

The four-storey Grade II listed stone building in Newcastle opened in 1907 and is being sold on behalf of Newcastle City Council.

It contains a swimming bath, a washing house, and an area for individual baths.

The baths closed in 1965 and have since been used by a badminton club.

The online auction will run for five days from 2 June, with an £8,000 starting price.
