Moseley Road Baths - part 6 - The Boiler House

I love Stirchley it's like going back in time, never changes much but the whole area looks like it needs more than just a lick of paint. What a success the British oak is though. Just shows what a few bob and a lick of paint can do!.

Glad to hear the British Oak is doing well. I got it statutory listed in, I think, 1997 so to preserve it forever

Had my first pint in there in 1976! , used to work in the sausage factory across the road. You can now get real ale at the oak and some decent grub!.

I love Edwardian architecture, we must save this place and Stirchley baths,what a mess that place is!

Stichley baths can be saved - we just need the will to do it.

I went inside Stirchley baths in 2004 and the pool area is very intact. Pool needs re-groating and hey-presto you have a pool. And we need a new boiler and filter - cost is about £500,000

Is Stirchley baths listed? and is there a concerted effort being made to save it?.
