Beechdale Swimming Centre, Nottingham, June 2016

Beechdale Swimming Centre was opened in the 1970s to replace Victoria Baths in Sneinton.

Picture the Past

I didn't manage to explore much of the place which was a shame as I celebrated my 6th birthday in Hoods' Hideout and I have clear memories of being scared of some of the pictures of witches/ skeletons in the play area

Anyway, here's a few photos, taken with my new camera:

That's all thanks ladies and gentlemen

It sounds from your recollection to have bin a fun place, a lot of similar amenities are closing due to lack of funding, You got some lovely pics and I enjoyed them, Thanks

Really liked them. Looks like my sort of place as well

A good post. Nice pictures.

I believe it was due to a new Swimming Centre opening elsewhere:
