Community activists have a vision for Lodge Lane as part of a "housing revolution".
"It might be after we've both popped off", Sonia Bassey told the ECHO while stood on a patch of grass set to be transformed in a community-led housing project she's campaigned years for, "but you are developing an infrastructure that enables people to thrive beyond your lifetime."
The site of Lodge Lane Public Baths has been vacant since the building was demolished in 1996, six years after the facility closed during council cutbacks. Once a vital part of the community, where generations learnt to swim, washed their clothes and played water polo, it was part of Liverpool's pioneering public health programmes when it opened in 1878.
