Friends of Moseley Road Baths

Moseley Road Pool is not a museum, it is a working building. It houses two attractive swimming pools, only one of which is still in operation. The larger pool closed in October 2003 due to a leak and structural problems with the spectator’s balcony. The other pool is used by people of all ages, backgrounds, capabilities and needs. Until 2004 Moseley Road Baths operated the only public washing baths in the city.

Although not presently operating at full capacity, many people from the surrounding area as well as nationally, recognise the importance of Moseley Road Baths, this Grade II* listed building, and have campaigned over a number of years to keep this beautiful yet pragmatic building open for a wide range of people to use and enjoy.

As it struggles to meet the demand for swimming and to accommodate the needs of people with a whole range of swimming needs it is clear how essential it is to invest in this national treasure.
