chadderton baths oldham 2007

the art deco chaddy baths still stands at time of writing, but apparently a plot is afoot to knock it down - hence the photograph

 

Not a particuarly beautiful building, the harsh, art deco architecture has rotted away a bit (esp those old metal window frames) and the fabric of the building needs a few quid spending on it to keep it open.

UK Govt seem to be able to find £billions to squander on grandiose megaprojects like the Olympic Games and Millennium Dome (Doom!) whilst fine old buildings like this - which are of direct benefit to local communities - are left to go to rack and ruin.

 

To paraphrase an old song:

'The working class

can kiss my ass

I've got the minister's job at last'
