Heath Town Library and public baths

Currently disused, and looking rather sorry for itself with a few broken windows and the like to the rear, the building was erected in 1930/31 to the design of the Borough Surveyor and Engineer, HB Robinson. The library occupied the first floor above an entrance to the public baths, with a children's bath on the right and washrooms to the left. These washrooms were subsequently converted to gymnasium facilities when the place operated as Heath Town Sports and Leisure Centre, prior to its closure. It was Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101384205-heath-town-public-baths-and-library-heath-town-ward#.XcJ1Zuj7RPY & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1384205 in 2000
