The photograph on this page of Bushbury Baths by John M as part of the Geograph project.
The Geograph project started in 2005 with the aim of publishing, organising and preserving representative images for every square kilometre of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man.
There are currently over 7.5m images from over 14,400 individuals and you can help contribute to the project by visiting https://www.geograph.org.uk

The baths were built in the 1960s and made use of the sloping terrain of Bushbury Hill. The pool had a 10m diving platform at the far end. The pool and building are showing their age and has proven difficult to maintain. The pool was replaced by the new leisure pool at Bentley Bridge and this building has been demolished. The Wrekin can just be seen on the horizon about 20 miles away.
