Moseley Road Baths (aka Balsall Heath Baths)

But with estimated essential repair costs of £30 million and a falling number of regular swimmers, fears are growing that the baths, built by William Hale & Son and opened in 1907, may not be open for long. Already one of the pools has closed.

Knowing how difficult it is to find uses for swimming baths that fall out of use, we are urging Birmingham Council to do all they can to safeguard the future of the pool and keep offering local people the opportunity to experience what one regular swimmer describes as a 'holy and endangered activity'.
