TOURS of Newcastle City Pool and Turkish Baths are being offered before the venue undergoes a major refurbishment.
The last chance tours are free and will take place on April 20 and 21 before workmen move in to start construction this spring.
The tours of the building, which dates back to 1928, will be hosted by representatives of owners Fusion Lifestyle and campaign group Reopen Newcastle Turkish Baths.
The building was closed in March 2013 and it is the last time the building will be accessible until it reopens in spring 2018.
Anthony Cawley, director of operations at Fusion Lifestyle, said: “People from across the North-East have a real connection with this place and there are lots of memories tied up in the venue. We couldn’t begin work on site without giving the public an opportunity to have one last look.”
Tours of Newcastle City Pool and Turkish Baths take place on Thursday and Friday next week between 10am-3pm and will last around 45 minutes per tour.
