I lived in Clydebank until I was 16 yrs old and have lots of great memories, my dad or my Mum would take me to the baths every week, NO they cant tear them down it's a beautiful old place, so please dont give up if I were there I would be happy to help thanks for the great video, I really miss that old Clydebank, I still say it's my hometown Thanks again for taking me back
I learned to swim in that pool when I was at Linvail primarily school. I remember looking at those old slipper baths. Also remember walking home and buying a popadom for me and my pal as we walked home. Ah the days
This happened up and down the Clyde. Old baths demolished for some office space/event center. Those building are history; how about saving one as a working museum so can enjoy using one. I feel the same about all the lost ship yards and docks. You can save them all, but save something! Children these days don't learn about the greatness, the history, the fortitude of their predecessors. no! They learn about so social evil crap. While some of that is perfectly true, how about showing the good with the bad? Have the learn about history and let them not repeat mistakes. Don't throw out the baby with the dirty bath water FFS.
PS. if the Luftwaffe couldn't destroy them,Why should you I agree with Mazy, Leave them alone or do something constructive with them I'll be Keeping up with this Story! and thank you for the video!

Chicken soup after swimming was the best.

How Good Was The Chicken Soup.
Cultural vandalism is the correct description. Shame on the people who made the decision to destroy the baths.
Unfortunately it's happened! There's just an open space now.....
Criminal. The destruction of the baths was totally unwarranted, should have been refurbished not destroyed.
I had a bath after Sunday morning training (swimming club) wonderful big baths.
