Wigston Swimming Pool - May 2014

Lost Explorer · Jun 2, 2014

Explored with King Mongoose and JuJu. A small amount of history:

Built between 1954-1957 and finally closing in March 2014.

The existing Wigston Swimming Pool will be demolished and in its place will be built a new facility featuring a 6 lane 25m competition pool with timing equipment and starting blocks, and a 60 station gym featuring the latest fitness equipment, this is due for completion in Spring 2015.

The pool is now a smouldering pile of ash thanks to the local youths!

Thanks for looking. Other photos from the explore here.

Is it? The modern 6 lane 25M pool replacing it sounds much better...
