Stirchley Baths
Located at the heart of a fast-growing local community, Stirchley Baths opened in 1911 to provide swimming and washing facilities in an era when few houses had bathrooms of their own. Decades later, the building was closed and fell derelict before an award-winning restoration project transformed it into a vibrant community hub.
