Heath Town Public Baths

52192605964_18478ec73f_c.jpg

Heath Town's structurally integrated Public Baths and Library - an architectural two-in-one the Librarian believed unique (CMB/WOL/D/LIB/128.6) - was built in 1932 to the design of the Wolverhampton Borough Engineer's Department, after several years' discussion in separate Council Committees, the Art Gallery and Public Library Committee and the Parks and Baths Committee.

The building has both architectural and social-historical importance locally, and architectural significance nationally; however the main swimming bath suffers a reportedly endemic leak, and the Council, after taking specialist engineering advice, intends to demolish the entire structure.

Just a mini report from here tbh, we were very rushed & it was pitch black by time we got out of here so here it is!
I actually missed a fair bit so a return may be on the cards one day.

These older baths always had such nice roof structures to give lots of light onto the pool. They might be smaller but they still beat the “mega Olympic” pools of modern times if you ask me.

Great report

No I haven't seen any pics of what's gone, but the main stairs & pannaling have gone.
Was inevitable I guess, the newer bit had fire years ago
