I remember being given a coloured rubber wrist band to identify which session you were in.

You paid to go in 6d I think 3d if you were a member of Morley Amateur Swimming Club and free on Thursday nights. You got a ticket from a machine like bus conductors had. If you went in at 6-00pm you could stay in until it closed at about 7-30. There was no time limit. I'm talking about the old Morley baths on Fountain Street here which closed about 1970.http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?reso ... 215_160715

It might have been the international pool, a bit hazy.They definitely had it in Whitley Bay pool with the high tech addition of a display board that flashed coloured lights when it was time for you to get out.

Spent many an hour in kirkstall road baths in the 60s and yes you are correct Blakey there was a wash house there.
