Description
Bournville Baths, built between 1902 and 1904 by G H Lewin, is a Grade II listed building located on Bournville Lane in Bournville, Birmingham. The structure is made of brick with stone dressings and features a tiled roof. It consists of a main hall with a lower wing on the left and a projecting clock tower on the right.
The front of the building includes a single-storey segment-headed bay with a square mullioned and transomed window, which has chequerwork in the tympanum. This is followed by a gabled bay topped with a polygonal louvred turret and a large five-light arched window with three transoms below it. Beneath this window is a prominent panel displaying the name and date of the building, surrounded by intricate foliage sculpted by Benjamin Creswick.
The square clock tower is characterized by tall battered buttresses and nearly equally tall two-light windows with three transoms. At the top, there is an octagonal turret with angle buttresses and a small dome, which is topped with an attractive metal weathervane. The left side of the building features five gabled bays, each with a five-light arched window that includes transoms.
