'I'd be lost without it': locals battle to save Carlisle’s Turkish baths
One of UK's last public Turkish baths may close next month unless campaigners can win round the council.
Carlisle's Victorian-style baths opened in 1909, and were awarded Grade II listing in 2010 in recognition of their decorative tiling and glazed stonework, as well as the stained-glass ceiling above the plunge pool.
One of the most affordable Turkish baths in the UK, with entry costing £7.10, they have a devoted community of regulars who put the world to rights in the sauna and three hot rooms several nights a week.
But Carlisle city council decided to mothball the complex after investing £27m in a new leisure centre on the other side of town.
Time is tight to save the baths, with councillors set to decide on Monday 3 October whether to close the site or maintain it, while campaigners work on a plan to take over and develop the baths as a community asset.

One of the most affordable Turkish baths in the UK, with entry costing £7.10, they have a devoted community of regulars who put the world to rights in the sauna and three hot rooms several nights a week.
But Carlisle city council decided to mothball the complex after investing £27m in a new leisure centre on the other side of town.
Time is tight to save the baths, with councillors set to decide on Monday 3 October whether to close the site or maintain it, while campaigners work on a plan to take over and develop the baths as a community asset.

Jordan, Middle East

The Unmissable Sights of Jordan, Middle East
Jordan, or the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan as it is officially known, is home to some of the Middle East's most spectacular and unmissable sights.
From dramatic desert landscapes and ruined Roman cities to powerful biblical sites and a wonder of the modern world, Jordan is full of wonders.
Add to this its ancient culture and a friendly population, not to mention modern, diverse Arab cities, and you have a fantastic destination.
The country is bordered by Israel and the West Bank to the west, Syria to the north, Iraq to the east and Saudi Arabia to the south.
It is almost completely land-locked apart from a small outlet on the Red Sea in the Gulf of Aqaba and a frontage on the Dead Sea.
Amman is the capital and largest city of Jordan and forms a modern bustling metropolis that can also boast to being one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world.
Originally built on seven hills it now spans an area of nineteen hills as its estimated two million strong population continues to grow at a staggering pace.
While Amman has a number of sites to interest tourists, such as the largest Roman theatre in Jordan, with room for 6,000 spectators, the city is a perfect base for exploring other parts of the country.
Umm Qais located on the site of the ruined Hellenistic-Roman city of Gadara, is a frequent destination for day trips from Amman.
It's popular not only because of its extensive ruins but also due to its position on a high hill and the panoramic views this provides.
Israel and the Golan Heights, which are claimed by and recognized by Syria but which have been under Israeli administration since the Six-Day War in 1967, can be seen. As can the Sea of Galilee.
However, it is a different watery attraction that is one of the highlights of any trip...

'I'd be lost without it': locals battle to save Carlisle’s Turkish baths
One of UK's last public Turkish baths may close next month unless campaigners can win round the council.
Carlisle's Victorian-style baths opened in 1909, and were awarded Grade II listing in 2010 in recognition of their decorative tiling and glazed stonework, as well as the stained-glass ceiling above the plunge pool.
One of the most affordable Turkish baths in the UK, with entry costing £7.10, they have a devoted community of regulars who put the world to rights in the sauna and three hot rooms several nights a week.
But Carlisle city council decided to mothball the complex after investing £27m in a new leisure centre on the other side of town.
