Opened in 1878, it served residents for over a hundred years until its eventual closure amid city cutbacks in 1990.The baths were not only somewhere to exercise, wash clothes or get clean – they were vital social hubs of their day, bringing the community together in various ways. The baths were demolished in 1996 and the site has stood empty for numerous years.
THERE IS ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A BUDDING APPRENTICE MURALIST TO SUPPORT THE PROJECT!

Shielded In The Community is a disabled-led project run in partnership with DaDa Fest and funded by Liverpool City Council.
Mandy Redvers-Rowe is a disabled writer based in Liverpool. Working with producer Harriet Warnock and Assistant Producer Robyn Bowyer. Together they’re delivering this project with a wonderful team of disabled and neurodiverse artists, Amina Atiq, Malik Lidgett and Ellen Purse.
All of them had to shield in 2020 and 2021 but, although for many the restrictions have now been lifted, there are still a significant number of people who have to continue to shield.
They are asking Disabled and/or neurodiverse people who live in the North West of England to take part in this project by responding artistically to their shielding experience – whatever their current shielding status.
They will be hosting a workshop on July 8th at Toxteth TV between 2pm – 5pm.
At the workshop all four artists will be running sessions and you will have the choice to work on whatever art form interests you.

Irish Film London are proud to present two brilliant films by Irish artists – Vivienne Dick’s New York Our Time and Tadhg O’Sullivan’s To The Moon – to venues across the UK in May and June this year, as part of a tour which is generously supported by Culture Ireland.
Vivienne Dick’s first feature length documentary is an intimate and philosophic film that contrasts the concerns of present day living in New York with the bohemian wildness of the city in the late 70’s, reflected through the lives of artists, musicians and friends of the filmmaker.
