Lovely to see these restored.  I worked in Birmingham around 35 years ago and a group of us used to go at dinnertime.

Anyone else been there?

Never been but saw the article earlier .... I liked the original 3 entrances 1st Class men, 2nd Class men & women.

Manchester has similar Victoria Baths .... though the cast iron work holding up the roof looks nothing like as posh!

My boss lives in Moseley, if I were wanting to live in the city it would be well up on my list. But like many city locations its cheek-by-jowl with some proper sh!tholes.

My wife was a student nurse at the QE and had a placement for 8 weeks at Moseley hall hospital.
All I can tell you is Moseley had the best curry house in Brum .
K2 it was. And they did tandoori fish.

Funny you should say that. After work on a Friday my team went out to a pub run by two Asian guys. One managed the draught beers which were excellent and the other cooked food in the room. You could have anything from a BBQ pork chop to a curry. Then they shovelled me onto the Leicester train. Happy Days.
