I myself have been swimming there many times and pass the building everyday on my way to work

In addition to some great photo's it also give's an insight into the history of the pool.

Enjoy

Thanks for the link. Some great pics in there.

And many memories too, as I was working and living in Leeds when it was built. Very futuristic architecture in its day, and very un-60's, (everything was square and concrete at that time ).

I hate seeing old buildings left to die, although it seems to be a standard developer's tctic - buy a building, let it decay until it's unsafe, and then no one can object when you tear it down.

Thanks for the link.

Great link, pics but a sad story .. visited that pool quite often in the late 70's & early 80's when staying with family in either Leeds, Sheffield or Rotherham.
