Purely for interest and to keep memories alive, here are some photos I took while a small group was being shown round the closed leisure centre building yesterday

The photos show:

The empty pool
One of three air-handling units which need replacing
A poignant reminder of the day when the pool was opened
Superficial wear and tear to the balance tank
Abandoned Tesco trollies
Sadly idle gym equipment.
