Visited with @flasher and an anonymous friend.

History
Construction started on the swimming pool in the outskirts of Birmingham in 1928. It took five years to complete the art deco building, which opened in March 1933, with its high arched roof that was inspired by aircraft hangers in France. The pool was constructed on a plot of former farmland that was part of the estate of a nearby manor house, but during the construction workers unearthed a plague pit containing as many as 300 bodies. The pit was sealed over the bodies remain beneath the building to this day.

Apparently haunted if you believe that tosh.

The visit
After a few failures in Gloucester we decided to have a look at this place. It was on our way home. Nice relaxed explore. Some doors locked however we saw most of the place. Security did turn up to turn the alarm off while we in there but we managed to sneak past them.
I only took pictures on my phone this time as I couldn't be arsed to get my camera out. So piss poor pictures.

After a failure and then possibly the crappiest explore we've ever done, this made a great end to the day with a bit of security dodging excitement thrown in. 😆
