Stirchley Public Baths

Stirchley Public Baths is a swimming facility built in 1910 by John P. Osborne. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond with a blue brick diaper pattern and features stone dressings, topped with slate roofs. It has a quadrant shape, with the main bath area located to the north, a boiler house and chimney to the west, and a tower to the east. The main entrance is centrally located on the curved front.

The exterior is a single storey and showcases an Edwardian Baroque style. The long, curved southeast front has a parapet and cornice, with rusticated stone aedicules featuring broken pediments that hold festoons. There is a moulded cill and cornice, along with a rusticated stone entrance centerpiece that includes Ionic pilasters and a broken pediment with a festooned cartouche inscribed "A 1910 D." The entrance features a coved round-arch doorway with quadrant panelled double doors, flanked by small diamond-shaped windows. Above, there is a small octagonal cupola with consoles and the inscription "Public Baths" on the drum, topped with a lead-clad dome.

To the right, the main north range has a large gable end with a moulded string and a large semi-circular window with raised voussoirs, as well as an oculus on the raised gable of the ridge light. This side is flanked by broad rusticated pilasters and a tower at the right corner, which has a rusticated stone lower stage with a cornice and broken pediment at the front, featuring an oculus. The upper stage is made of brick with stone quoins at each corner, topped with a parapet that has moulded stone coping raised over the corners, and a louvered cupola with a shallow lead-clad dome. A chimney is located at the rear west end of the north range, featuring round-arch panels and a cornice.

The interior remains largely intact, featuring a glazed tile pool that is open to braced iron roof trusses and a ridge-light. The walls are finished with white glazed brick and red brick dressings, with changing cubicles located below and above balconies on the side walls. The entrance has a glazed screen, ticket hatches, and glazed brick walls.
