Moseley Road Baths
Moseley Road Baths is a public swimming pool in Birmingham, central England. There are two pools, but the larger 'gala pool' is no longer in use. The pool is likely to close down in September 2015, to be replaced by a newer facility.
It's hoped that the old pool with its historic gala pool and 'slipper baths' can be retained in some way, but that is unlikely.
First class 'slipper baths' - the rope is to help the bather pull themselves out of the bath. These public baths were in use until quite recently.
Slipper baths ticket booth - the access is now bricked up.
The Gala Pool. Completely drained and unlikely to be refilled, the gala pool is in a poor state of repair.
The roof supports are decorative as well as functional.
Scaffolding surrounds the gala pool, keeping the structure safe.
