Templemore Baths in Belfast awarded £5m lottery funding

The last surviving Victorian public baths on the island of Ireland has received a £5m grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund grant.

Templemore Baths in east Belfast will use it to help restore, extend and reopen as a leisure and fitness facility.

Opened in 1893, the baths and swimming pool were the last in a series opened in Belfast in the late 19th Century.
