Heritage

The Friends of Moseley Road Baths are active in celebrating the heritage of the building.  We hold regular tours for the public, encourage use of the building for arts events, photography and film shoots.

In 2010 we received a Heritage Lottery Fund grant for our Pool of Memories project.  This allowed us to work within the community to collect the Oral Histories of people who swam, worked or bathed in the building.  We turned these important stories into short films, a book, a Theatre in Education project spearheaded by The Play House, a website and a roller banner exhibition, which can still be viewed at Moseley Road Baths during normal opening hours.

We are currently exploring ways to make this locally and nationally important Archive available to the public in perpetuity.  We are also always interested in collaborating with people who may wish to access the Archive for creative purposes and to help celebrate the building’s heritage.

We are also committed to developing heritage work in partnership with Moseley Road Baths CIO, collaborating with other heritage pools through the Heritage Pools of Britain and we are members of Birmingham Heritage Forum.
