- Discover Woodcock Street Baths (Birmingham UK). This video was recorded on 10 September 2021.
Woodcock Street Baths - now known as the Sir Doug Ellis Woodcock Sports Centre - is the oldest operational swimming pool in Birmingham (1902). This guided tour will show how Aston University, who took over this grade 2 listed building in 1980, have refurbished and redeveloped the building into a modern sports centre available for staff and students of the University but also the local community. The swimming pool which retains most of its original features was constructed in 1902 and other parts of the building were constructed around the original pool in 1921 and again in 2011.

As always thank you for watching!
Thank you for the time you take to walk and create these videos. It’s quite something to view many parts of the city that I have known but never really visited. Thank you for encouraging me to go and discover the city and it’s interesting past.
Thank you very much for your comment 😊 I'm glad the videos make you go out and visit places
The history of the baths is really interesting
Hello Bev, glad to hear from you again. I did enjoy that tour. The lady is very knowledgeable. She used to be a French teacher
I'm moving to Birmingham next year, please send me good vibes ✨
All the best Vitor 😉
My Dad won diving medals here in 1940's and my Mum used to use the bathing facilities.
Wow! have you ever swum there as a child?
@@citiesthroughmyeyes No, my parents moved away from the area before I was born. My Grandpatents lived in Lawrence Street until early sixties when they died. Lawrence Street is to the left hand side of the baths.
Apparently the baths had a very high diving board.
We had the same looking baths in Grove Lane, Handsworth. Still visible is the Victorian entrance in Grove Lane.
I never had the chance to see the inside of Grove Lane swimming baths. I hope one day.
Hi joseline, Oh you already know about those baths in Grove Lane, I remember them from my childhood. ❤️ nice to know you are still making films of Birmingham. ❤️
As a kid over 50yrs ago did my personal survival awards there!
Interesting! Have you been back there since? Thanks for watching 🙂
Very good video. Your narration is much better than trying to hear the tour guide.
GREAT WORK. Your Washington D.C fan club
Hello HR Kennedy, thank you for your feedback 🙂 I had the feeling you were from the US. I did have a look at your playlist sometime ago... Do you have any connection to Bham?
@@citiesthroughmyeyes
No connection. A friend suggested your channel, and i became a fan.
Stay with your passion, when you do it shows in your content.
Stay safe and keep filming
Nice informative video - the baths look very well cared for, having had a lucky escape. Interesting aside about the communal laundry - certainly more efficient than everyone washing by hand. Btw the title 'Sir' goes with the first name, not the surname so Sir Doug Ellis would be 'Sir Doug' not 'Sir Ellis.'
Hello Chris! 🙂 The story of these baths is very interesting. You taught me something today, 'Sir + first name' and I'll keep that in mind 😉. I hope you're doing good.
@@citiesthroughmyeyes doing well thanks, hope to upload some more videos shortly.
Hi Joseline! Did you stop doing street walks in different areas or do you film this as a change? Me personally I liked the street walks and think there are so many more areas to explore. Or what is your plan?
Hello Abu Ismail 99, no I haven't stopped. I attended a lot of Bham Heritage week events in early September so that's why you see all these videos...
I wanted to film Manchester last Saturday since I was there. Unfortunately it was raining like crazy.
I am currently working on some Bham Suburbs past & present too so I am a bit all over the place right now... But I will definitely make some new walking tours this week if the weather is compliant.
