'I'd be lost without it': locals battle to save Carlisle’s Turkish baths
One of UK's last public Turkish baths may close next month unless campaigners can win round the council.
Carlisle's Victorian-style baths opened in 1909, and were awarded Grade II listing in 2010 in recognition of their decorative tiling and glazed stonework, as well as the stained-glass ceiling above the plunge pool.
One of the most affordable Turkish baths in the UK, with entry costing £7.10, they have a devoted community of regulars who put the world to rights in the sauna and three hot rooms several nights a week.
But Carlisle city council decided to mothball the complex after investing £27m in a new leisure centre on the other side of town.
Time is tight to save the baths, with councillors set to decide on Monday 3 October whether to close the site or maintain it, while campaigners work on a plan to take over and develop the baths as a community asset.

'I'd be lost without it': locals battle to save Carlisle’s Turkish baths
One of UK's last public Turkish baths may close next month unless campaigners can win round the council.
Carlisle's Victorian-style baths opened in 1909, and were awarded Grade II listing in 2010 in recognition of their decorative tiling and glazed stonework, as well as the stained-glass ceiling above the plunge pool.
One of the most affordable Turkish baths in the UK, with entry costing £7.10, they have a devoted community of regulars who put the world to rights in the sauna and three hot rooms several nights a week.
But Carlisle city council decided to mothball the complex after investing £27m in a new leisure centre on the other side of town.
Time is tight to save the baths, with councillors set to decide on Monday 3 October whether to close the site or maintain it, while campaigners work on a plan to take over and develop the baths as a community asset.
