Then and Now: Cheetham Hill Road
 The baths pictured in 1903Swimming became a leisure treat for all the family to enjoy together, as other improved amenities sprouted up all around. Schools, hospitals, libraries, public wash-houses and swimming baths could all be afforded as a municipal duty and paid for out of rates.  The same view todayOver the years, many children learned to swim at the Cheetham Hill baths, often walking there straight from the local schools. But ambitious building projects didn't stop at swimming baths. Manchester not only started to see the installation of clean water and sewers due to the laying of a pipeline to the Lake District, but gas, electricity and electric trams were soon added to the city's amenities. Today, the site of the old baths is occupied by rows of flats, right. These latest images are part of a collection chronicling the changing face of Manchester over 250 years. There are 77,000 images stored on an easy-to-use computer system at Central Library.
