@BaggiesRoger Not sure yet as the closure due to the contractor change has slowed us down. We will share timescales when we have them.

We are excited to say that we have appointed Galliford Try, a UK based construction company, to work with us over the next few months to determine how we will continue the next stage of the Diving In project. We look forward to welcoming them on site!

We thought we'd share the news of a new role at #MoseleyRoadBaths. Kitty, a mystery customer for Balsall Heath's Living Room installation in 2023, has now joined us as Security Supervisor and is hard at work overseeing the security team. #cats #Conservation #keepswimming

This time last year we held a festival at Moseley Community Hub - Exchange was a 2 day festival exploring what Balsall Heath Library could offer when it reopens. The festival was programmed with a steering group, and plenty of learnings have been taken into MRB's future plans!

Demolition of some of the partitions in the men's 2nd class slipper baths means that this area can become a cafe and small events space with work being done carefully to avoid damaging the glazed bricks and retaining them for future use. #conservation #Heritage #keepswimming

After a week of hard work Hoard-It has finished the hoarding outside of MRB! It's there to keep you all safely away from construction and keeps the building extra secure. The boards won't stay empty as we have some great ideas up our sleeves! Funded by #UKGovernment #keepswimming

Moseley Road Baths in Birmingham are one of England's most complete examples of an Edwardian Bath House. 🏊‍♂️

They are the only Baths in the country built before 1914 to have continuously hosted swimming since they opened.

Have you been for a swim in these iconic baths?
