Description
The open-air swimming baths in Bailey Park, Abergavenny, opened in 1938 and was constructed and operated by Abergavenny Borough Council. Rectangular in form, changing boxes bordered the pool. The baths were closed in 1996 and remained extant until 2006 when they were demolished and filled in. The facility consisted of a large adult bath, a smaller, shallower and squarer bath used by children, and a paddling pool and extended over 110m in total. The site was recorded during RCAHMW aerial reconnaissance on 13 August 2003.
