The pool was designed by the late architect Richard Seifert and opened in 1968. This is the west gable end which contains a mural by the artist William Mitchell entitled "Erith's History". This mural, which is the dark rectangle to the left of the building, is now in a parlous unprotected state, although I understand it will be saved when the building is demolished for the Erith Western Gateway redevelopment. See Image for the main frontage.
