Went to the Moseley Road Baths in Balsall Heath for a Brumtography photo meet.
The Public Library and Baths on Moseley Road, Balsall Heath, form one of many pairings of baths and libraries in Birmingham, England.
The library was opened in 1895, with the baths following in 1907. Made of red brick and terracotta in Edwardian style, the structure is one of only three swimming pools in the country listed at Grade II* status.
The buildings are currently managed by Birmingham City Council, however, the council has announced plans to close the baths in June 2017.
It is a Grade II* Listed Building.

Isn't this just, well, fabulously hilarious?! How much fun to have a flower motif throughout an entire building. And why not, I ask?! Someone out there will *love* this, and what a statement it makes about the ability to create individuality on a tight budget.
