Join us as we uncover the fascinating story behind Coventry Baths, a once thriving public swimming pool that has now fallen into disrepair. In this urban exploration journey, we’ll walk through the abandoned halls, decaying changing rooms, and crumbling walls, revealing the history of this iconic building and its place in Coventry’s past.
The Coventry Baths, which opened in the early 20th century, served as a hub for the local community, offering a space for recreation, fitness, and socialising. But over the years, like many public buildings, it faced decline—battling with lack of funding, neglect, and ultimately, abandonment. Now, hidden away from the public eye, it stands as a testament to the city’s history, with remnants of its former glory still visible despite the ravages of time.
In this video, we’ll take you through the creaky corridors, the rusting fixtures, and the eerily quiet spaces that once echoed with the laughter and splashes of swimmers. From its initial grandeur to the slow decay it faced in its later years, we’ll explore the narrative of how this grand public facility faded into obscurity. We’ll also discuss its potential future, whether it’s restoration or demolition, and what its history tells us about urban change.
