Victoria Baths is an Edwardian municipal bathhouse opened in Manchester in 1906, designed by city architect Henry Price. Described at its opening as a water palace, it accommodated three swimming pools, Turkish and Russian baths, and private washbaths. The interior showcases remarkable craftsmanship with emerald glazed wall tiling, stained glass windows, and mosaic floors. Saved by a public campaign, it now operates as a heritage venue.
