[QUOTE="jhluxton, post: 181743, member: 2478"] My second look at the Industrial Archaeology of the once great Isle of Man tourist industry features Peel opem air swimming pool. The City of Peel, "The Sunset City" located on the west coast of the Isle of Man once boasted an open air swimming pool. The pool can still be seen on some postcards sold on the Island, though it appears to have been closed since the 1980s. The buildings have long been cleared and the pool filled in and grassed over - but the pool side paving, drainage gutters and building footings remain. Above the pool the faded "POOL" can be seen painted on the wall visible in the first photograph.
