Erdington Public Baths

Despite its historical significance, surprisingly little information about this place is available online. The facility opened on May 6, 1925, offering a swimming pool, separate bathing suites for men and women, and Victorian-style Turkish baths. Though the pool could be converted for other uses during the winter months, swimming remained popular year-round, and the floor was never added. At just 1,549 square meters, the baths were relatively small, yet they proved immensely popular with the local community over their 90 years of operation.

The facility closed in 2014, replaced by a new leisure center on an adjacent site. Since then, the vacant building has sat largely undisturbed, with remarkably little vandalism considering its abandoned state. In 2022, the local authority announced plans for a "sensitive transformation" of the non-listed building, intending to convert it into an "enterprise hub" that would also feature a bar and restaurant.
