Coat of arms of the city of Birmingham, sculpted in terracotta, over the entrance to the Women's Baths at Moseley Road Baths. The baths, with their separate entrances for men and women, opened in 1907 and provided facilities for taking a bath in private, at a time when many homes had no bathroom, as well as two swimming pools, one of which is still in use. https://www.wmf.org/project/moseley-road-baths The supporters of the coat of arms represent industry (blacksmith with hammer and anvil) and art (artist with palette).
