Update on Moseley Road baths –8^th June 2011

First of all we have a new date for the re-opening of Pool 2 of Moseley Road baths – 15^th July (plus or minus a day or two).

The stainless steel lintel above the fire exit door to Pool 2 is now in place. See photo below

The work to brick in this lintel in and remove the supporting frame will be complete by 8^th July.

I have managed to secure the £50,000 to install permanent structural scaffolding in the basement. Work starts on the installation of this scaffolding on the coming Monday.

The background to why we need this permanent structural scaffolding can be read at http://martinmullaney.blogspot.com/2011/05/update-on-moseley-road-baths-10-th-may.html

Subject, to no further faults being found in the building, the pool will re-open to the public on 15^th July thereabouts.

In the meantime, work is still moving forward on submitting a £5million bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund in 2012 to start the first phase of restoring these baths.
