LCC municipal

From 1937, a London County Council illustrated guide to Municipal London. My kind of guide! Extracts here include the Poplar Baths and its multiple uses…

The cover is a dark green/briwn cover and features the London County Council coat of arms. The cover has the following text on it: LONDON IN PICTURES MUNICIPAL LONDON ILLUSTRATED PRICE 6D Published by The London County Council Taken from: London In Pictures: Municipal London Illustrated Published by: London County Council Date: 1937
Three black and white photos of Poplar Baths in multiple uses. The captions are as follows: POPLAR SWIMMING BATH THE SAME IN USE AS CONCERT HALL THE SAME IN USE AS DANCE HALL Per Wikipedia: The Baths were rebuilt in 1933 to a design by Harley Heckford and the larger pool was covered over to convert the building into a theatre. Designated the East India Hall, it had seating capacity for 1,400 people and incorporated a dance hall, cinema, exhibition room and sports hall for boxing and wrestling programmes. This dual purpose sustained interest over the winter months, with the smaller pool remaining in use. The distinctive pool roof is described thus in its listing: Ten-bay first class pool under reinforced concrete hyperbolic ribs, which support the glazed roof structure that was innovative in bringing natural light into swimming baths.
