Ashton Old Baths (officially listed as Former Municipal Baths) is a Victorian-era former public bathhouse on Henry Square in Ashton-under-Lyne, a town within Tameside, Greater Manchester, England. Built between 1870 and 1871, it was one of the early municipal swimming facilities in the United Kingdom. The building is designed in an Italian Romanesque style and features a large brick structure with a 120-foot (37-metre) chimney that served as a flue for steam boilers. It is designated as a Grade II* listed building. Following its closure in 1975 and a prolonged period of disuse, the building underwent restoration in 2016. The project adopted a "building within a building" approach, creating new interior accommodation for digital and creative businesses while retaining the historic exterior.
