"A branch establishment in Tudor Road, Heath Town was opened on Friday, 16th December 1932, and the cost of the buildings, exclusive of boilers, purification plant and hot water work was £33,764.

This establishment includes a Main Swimming Bath, 75 feet by 34 feet containing 85,000 gallons of water, and a special Children’s Swimming Bath 40 feet by 25 feet with water depths ranging from three feet three inches to three feet and contains 20,000 gallons of water.

On the South side of the building is a Public Wash-house, comprising fifteen washing stalls for hand washing, four rotary washing machines, three electrically operated hydro-extractors, and twenty one drying horses.

All water is softened to effect the greatest economy in the use of soap."
