EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and historical significance of Moseley Road Baths in Balsall Heath, Birmingham. The image showcases the second class swimming pool, which was reopened after extensive repair work. Dating back to 1907, these baths were originally an extension of the public library that had been established a decade earlier. The restoration efforts undertaken in October 2005 allowed this iconic indoor swimming pool to once again welcome eager swimmers and bathers. The Grade II* Listed building stands as a testament to Edwardian architecture and is steeped in sports heritage and history. In this photograph, one can appreciate the intricate ironwork that adorns the interior of the baths. The combination of white tiles and blue accents creates a serene atmosphere for visitors seeking relaxation or exercise. Moseley Road Baths holds immense cultural value within its walls, serving as both a recreational facility and a symbol of community pride. This print not only commemorates its reopening but also pays homage to its enduring legacy. Simon Inglis expertly captures every detail with his lens, allowing viewers to transport themselves back in time while appreciating the beauty and importance of this historic site.
