Renfrew Development Trust has made a film about the Renfrew Victory Baths to celebrate the pool's 100th anniversary. Made by local filmaker Paul Russell and assisted by baths staff member Claire Carlton, the film interviews Nick Lobnitz, great grandson of Sir Fred and Lady Lizzie who gifted the pool to the town in 1921, as well as lots of local swimmers and staff from the pool. The film was recently premiered at a unique outdoor event at Robertson Park, Renfrew and offers a unique insight into the life and times of this much loved local landmark which is run by Renfrewshire Leisure.

Absolutely great to see the Renfrew victory baths still open , myself, my father and grandfather use to go to the baths on a weekend, myself born in Paisley and brought up in Barrhead, now in 60 and living down in the Cotswolds and reminiscing on the past, I had great times with my family and visiting the baths regularly, I love the fact that the individual cubicles are still there, next time I’m up in Scotland I would love to revisit the baths , thank you for a detailed video of the history, many thanks , Mitchell

Great wee film showing the love for the old pool and its meaning to the community. Such a pity Glasgow did not follow in the same spirit of cherishing its old swimming baths Govanhill, Pollokshaws, Gorbals and Whiteinch. Govanhill especially should have been maintained as a working museum with its old Gents pool and Ladies pool and small teaching pool.
