From 12:00-4:00pm on Saturday, 01 November, at Moseley Road Methodist Church, directly opposite Moseley Road baths in Birmingham one of Britain’s most historic and architecturally significant swimming baths, an event is being staged by the Friends of Moseley Road Baths group, as part of their "Pool of Memories" project, which aims to record and archive the stories of those who swam, washed, worked, dived or danced at the building on Moseley Road in Balsall Heath.

The centrepiece of the day will be an exhibition of the photos, video film, reminiscences and artefacts (such as swimming certificates and old costumes) already collected, which visitors will be encouraged to add to by recording their own memories and bringing along their own memorabilia.
