EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Nechells Baths in Birmingham, a remarkable piece of architectural history. Opened in 1910, this magnificent building served as an indoor swimming pool and bathing facility until its closure in 1995. However, thanks to extensive restoration work carried out in the early 21st century, it was transformed into a vibrant community and business center that officially opened its doors in 2006. The restoration project successfully preserved the original Edwardian facade, interior layout, and fabric of the building, ensuring its historical significance remained intact. The red brick and terracotta structure stands proudly as a Grade II Listed landmark within Nechells Park Road. With its rich heritage rooted in sports and recreation, this converted space now serves as a hub for various community activities. It has become a symbol of civic pride where locals can gather for social events or pursue their entrepreneurial endeavors. Simon Inglis's expertly captured photograph allows us to appreciate both the grandeur of this edwardian masterpiece and the meticulous craftsmanship involved in its repair and conversion. It is truly remarkable how such an iconic structure has been given new life while still honoring its sporting past.
