FUNDING of £400,000 is being made available to help pay for the renovation of Carlisle’s historic Turkish Baths in James Street.
Carlisle City Council Leader John Mallinson confirmed the funding part of the Borderlands project as he rejected suggestions that the much loved and impressive listed building could one day suffer the same fate as the demolished Central Plaza Hotel. Mr Mallinson said there had never been any suggestion from the council of demolishing the Turkish baths. “It’s a listed building,” he said. “Apart from anything else, we don’t want it to be demolished; it’s a building of enormous historic interest. It’s entirely different to what happened to the Central Plaza Hotel.

The Belfast-built H.M.S. Titanic was thought to be unsinkable after it set sail from Cobh, Co. Cork, on its fated maiden voyage. Of the roughly 2,220 people aboard the Titanic, around 164 were Irish, only 54 of whom were found amongst the ship’s 700-some survivors. Its wreckage lay undiscovered until September 2, 1985, and now on the 30th anniversary of the discovery several Titanic artifacts will go on auction, and are likely to sell for hefty sums. The items come from Abraham Lincoln Salmon, who was one of the 12 survivors on the infamous Lifeboat No. 1, nicknamed the “money boat” due to unsubstantiated allegations that these survivors bribed the crewmen to paddle away from danger while others struggled to survive.

A decision on plans to ban nude bathing at Harrogate s Turkish Baths has been delayed to allow council chiefs more time to mull it over.
The 124-year-old spa, run by Harrogate council, has previously had swimwear-free options at single-sex sessions.
However, covering up could be made compulsory because the authority said it would reflect greater equality in the modern world.
Meanwhile a planned move to mixed-sex sessions only has been reversed.
The changes to end single-sex sessions were revealed last year but customers criticised it and said people would stop visiting if it went ahead, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
