Our own Kate Andrews was there in May when Balfour Beatty added the second cupola to the top of the building – here are her shots. Enjoy.
Want to join Stirchley History Group?
Created for the benefit and lasting legacy of the Stirchley Baths project, we’re looking for people who are passionate about local history and community and would like to share their knowledge. You don’t need to have previous research experience, just an interest in the project and telling the story of Stirchley.
The initial aim of the group is to produce an illustrated leaflet about the historic importance of the Baths. This content will also be used on Stirchley Baths website.
The leaflet will include a general introduction to Stirchley history; the history of the Baths and its historic significance; opening times, contact information, facilities and room hire info.
The first meeting will take place at:
P Cafe, 1464 Pershore Road, (opposite Stirchley Primary School)
Tuesday 16th June, 6.30-8pm.
If you are interested in contributing but are unable to attend, contact me (Louise) at:
