Zoom into the detail of this photograph
A formerly well known source of outdoor entertainment is captured in this photograph of the opening ceremony of New Brighton Baths. The reflections in the empty pool present a stark contrast to the crowds that filled it during its hey-day.
This photograph was commissioned by the Wallasey Corporation.
