Abstract: |
The historic building survey of the undesignated Atherton Leisure Centre (formerly the West Ham Municipal Baths) was undertaken prior to its demolition. The work was carried out in response to planning condition imposed by Newham Council on the planning permission (ref 13/00926-FUL). The survey has shown that the West Ham Municipal Baths were constructed between 1931-1934 and on a site previously occupied by Fern Bank, a large detached villa with extensive grounds to the rear and a pair of Victorian semi-detached houses. Following initial construction works in 1931 and the laying of the foundation stone by J.T. Scoulding on July 5th 1932, the West Ham Municipal Baths, built at a cost of £147,477, were finally opened to the public on the 9th June 1934. The baths were constructed to the designs of the Borough Engineer W. Lionel Jenkins, assisted by the Deputy Architect A.H. Roe (ARIBA) and the Borough Surveyor T.V. Griffiths. The complex originally housed three pools, including the 'major' pool for first class patrons, the 'minor' pool for second class patrons and the 'schools' pool for swimming instruction. |
