A cut-out for the visitors
The hard court on Filwood Broadway has another unofficial entrance. Beyond is a patch of unkempt land that used to be the baths. The pool was built in 1962 (a much later addition compared to the rest of the estate) but was closed in 2005. Demolition has left no real trace and the land is now being lined up to provide 33 new homes.

Christ the King in Filwood Broadway
The church was built slightly after the rest of the estate. As the inter-war development of Knowle was started, some land on the main road was set aside and the church was built in stages from 1952. Designers Kenneth Nealon and Partner brought a fresh, bold new look for the Catholic movement. The tall nave and four stage bell tower are powerful yet simple statements, all built from a reinforced concrete frame, faced with Portland stone, and roofs clad in copper.
