Victoria Baths is one of 5 Grade II* listed public baths in the country. Described by the Manchester Guardian at the time of its opening as 'probably the most splendid bathing institution in the country'. The Lord Mayor at the time described it as a water palace. Designed by T de Courcy Meade, Arthur Davies and Henry Price it opened in September 1906 at a cost of £59,939. The building finally closed in 1993 and the Victoria Baths Trust formed to ensure the building survived with the goal of restoring and reopening it.
Extract from “It’s All Just a Pipedream Now (Salt Glazed Pipe Making in South Derbyshire)” by Ivan Poole (Burton Library):-
Thomas Wragg set up his first business at Loxley Old Wheel as an offshoot of the family farm, making firebricks for the Sheffield steel trade. Disaster struck the firm in 1864 when the collapse of the Dale Dyke Reservoir washed away the brickworks completely. However, the business survived and was rebuilt and expanded to take in three of Thomas’s four sons. By 1872 they had also started producing pipes.
Thomas visited Swadlincote, Derbyshire in the same year to inspect a new pipe making machine by Sabine’s. Seeing the properties of the clay and the availability of land, he bought several hundred acres in Swadlincote and Woodville and built a new pipe works. Thomas’s son, John Downing Wragg, was installed as Manager and soon became a prominent local figure. He also became a director of the Granville Colliery Company in 1886. In 1904 Wragg’s purchased the adjacent firm of Woodward’s and from that point on the two were closely linked, although operated as separate businesses.
In the early 1970s the Wragg’s site was closed and all production concentrated on the Woodward’s site. After a brief period of disuse, the site was demolished and no trace is left. It is now part of the Swadlincote Woodlands Development which uses the old site and claypits (now filled in) to form a country park with walks, scenic features and housing built on the parts of the site which had not been excavated.
