The swimming bath provided a welcome respite from the daily routine of the institution, offering the boys a chance to enjoy the simple pleasure of swimming and playing in the water. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing insight into the lives of the children who lived at Harborne Industrial School during this era.
