Baths Gosta Green

I am trying to find a picture of the baths near Lawrence st. I never went swimming but I went to have a bath. Very rarely Mom would have the money for us to go and have a bath. A man would run the bath for you and he would have a key to turn on the hot water. You never had much hot water so you had to hurry and wash quick. The man would say come on lets be having you and bang the door. I didn't mind it was a quick bath and getting dressed quickly.
Usually when we we waiting for a bath I never saw any white people there always Pakistani gentlemen.
Kids nowadays haven't got a clue. Life was hard but you are born into it
