The Harold Davies Public Baths on East Prescot Road, Dovecot, were opened in 1936 and closed in 1988, being demolished shortly after. They were called after the head of Liverpool Public Baths Committee, and were identical to the William Roberts Public Baths in Norris Green.
On July 21st 1951 a Festival of Britain Gala was held there, and the Baths have been replaced with a small group of houses in Gala Close.
There were 3 elevated pools - a children's pool, a 25 yard pool, and a 10 feet deep diving pool with rails around it. The changing rooms were on the balcony. Clothes off and into a wire framed basket which you handed in and received a metal tag on a pin to attach to your cozzy -
