Description:Elizabeth McKeon remembers going here for a bath. "We went to the Moseley Road Baths across from the Arts school, for a bath ready to dress up and go out at the weekend. The attendants would fill the bath to half way with scalding hot water; we would spend most of our allotted time adding cold water to make our bath bearable". The Baths had two pools and one remains open. In the winter months boards were put across the pools for dances and entertainment. Comedian Sid Field made one of his earliest stage appearances here.
