^Coventry Baths were damaged during the blitz of 1940 and demolished in 1966. The only remaining evidence of the building can be found in the car park opposite the current Coventry Central Baths on Fairfax Street (opened in 1966), which has a small brick block which housed the filtration tanks (Gordon & Inglis 2009, p. 240).
^Additions included 8 slipper baths, 16 Lassar Baths (showers) with changing cubicles and a boiler house.
