Whilst in Birmingham for other explores i remembered about this one, after a quick call to the manager we were in.....
Beautiful place this is and a massive shame the council have other plans for it....
Recently found out that the manager has now been told to let no one else in to take photos :(

History..... instead of shamelessly copying wikipedia here is the link to the page instead

Anyway on with the shots....

FANTASTIC. Best photos ive seen of the place, and I love the style of processing. :)
 
One place i have missed and would love to see.cracking photos as always.
 
WOW!!! amazing set of pics mate, really captured the feel of the place, i always prefer to get in touch with the appropriate people if access isn't possible too, good work.
 
What is the purpose of those barrier like doors on wheels in your second last photo?

I wondered that too and so did a Google image search on another photo of those doors. Steam heated drier racks apparently and possibly the only surviving ones in a swimming baths in the UK.

I guess they were to dry loads of towels after people used all the slipper baths.
