Moseley Road Baths invites you ‘Back to Ours’. The Gala Pool has been designed by Friction Arts to create a gentle space with and for local residents where visitors can relax, engage and converse. Playful installations, made by our contributors, are inside and outside the building invite us to examine and celebrate our communal and individual heritage, as well as the rich, complex history of the Baths and of Balsall Heath, and to strengthen the future that we will create together.
This is made possible by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
