Moseley Road Baths still on endangered list
AN HISTORIC swimming baths in Birmingham has made it onto a national list of the ten most endangered Victorian and Edwardian buildings.
Moseley Road Baths in Balsall Heath has now made it onto the Victorian Society’s list for an unprecedented third year running.
To qualify for the annual list, a building has to be at risk either from neglect, demolition or, in the case of Moseley Road Baths, from closure.
After being threatened with closure five years ago because it was crumbling and in a dangerous condition, Friends of Moseley Road Baths began campaigning to get the 1907 building fully restored.
Birmingham City Council has since spent money reopening one of its two pools, but has yet to make a decision about the other.
