I am assuming they laid a dance floor over the pool?

I was also wondering that Dennis. Or whether this was a different building to the baths.

It was the mens pool that was covered in the winter months and it was also used for wrestling.

Yes that was the mens pool.The ladies/mixed bathing pool hadn't a balcony. The changing cubicles were at the side of the pool.
I can't recall whether it was Monday or Wednesday nights that I went there, but it was always a good night out.
Ashton baths weren't so bad either, another covered pool..

Do you have any idea when this was from? I have found an invitation card to a Coming of Age party for my great Aunt, held here in 1939. Would it have looked like this?
