Description:Newcastle-under-Lyme has had a swimming pool since 1852, originally known as the Public Baths and Wash Houses and mostly used for washing and relaxation, with men and women segregated. The King's Memorial Baths were opened in 1906 as to mark King Edward VII's coronation, featuring the largest baths in the Midlands, and three pools of varying temperature, based on the Roman system. The baths were refurbished to become the Jubilee Baths to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee in the 1977. A new swimming pool and gym named Jubilee 2 (or J2 for short) opened in 2012. The old swimming baths were demolished shortly after to make way for flats.
