Brighouse pool - may - 11

[mr beardy]

Visited with a Mutilated pixie we set about going into one of my top targets. According to MP people have been in since his last visit on Friday.
History:
Opened in 1913 Brighouse swimming pool was closed in June 2006 after glass fell from the roof and in to the pool, this was down to deterioration of the hundred year old building.
As well as requiring extensive works to the roof of the pool in Mill Royd Street a detailed routine survey revealed serious problems with the pool's filtration and ventilation systems. Heating, hot and cold water installations and drainage are among other items which need to be addressed.
Calderdale Council's cabinet member for community services, Amanda Byrne, said spending money on the pool now would be a serious and unacceptable waste of public money.
In 2009 it was announced that a new gym and swimming pool was to be built on land near the police station, in late 2010 the new facilities were opened to the public.





















My stay got cut short after a member of staff pointed to the sign

Nice report, i wouldn't want to have a shit in that bog anyway!

worrying thing is it's not even a toilet it's a changing cubical.

Nice report Beady, your local knowledge on the history of this place is far more than I could find online, well done.

Since my camera failed me last time I was here I took this opportunity to get some shots of what I missed last time I was here.



Nothing like a good chimney shot


After a crawl through the ventilation tunnels under the chimney I came across this room
