swimming pool

Introduction One from last year on a trip up North with @JakeV50. Something a bit different to the usual stuff we visit and I really enjoyed it. Information & History The baths opened in 1921 and were designed by architect Harry Price. Price was responsible for some well-known landmarks in...

March 2023 Click Here For My April 2016 Report The Visit Visited with @stranton whilst @coolboyslim vanished to find breakfast, this place is one that I hold close to my hears as it was in this very pool that I learnt to swim as a child. Since its closure in 2016 the buildit has deteriorated...

I've visited Magnet Leisure Centre a total of three times now. It's clearly a bit of a hotspot now since the last two reports back in late 2021. On all three occasions I bumped into several other explorers (fortunately the friendly, respectful kind). The place is pretty huge and in a varying...

So, I have very little history on this place other than it shut recently.. It didn't reopen in April after lockdown I believe. Two newspaper reports say different reasons one has that it was lease renewal issues. The other states : "In the email, Sports Direct Fitness wrote: "As we prepare to...

Whilst down at the Jurassic coast accidently came across this gem... When it opened it had a restaurant, bar, gym, swimming pool, squash court and sauna. It has been abandoned since 2004/5 and has had numerous offers for planning permission for new hotels and apartments although they have all...

Stumbled across this one whilst out at the coast, left to decay since 2008 due to losing popularity. Since being abandoned Pontins Hembsy had been attacked by arsonists on two occasions, one causing major damage to the main entertainment hall, however the go cart track, rock climbing wall...

NB: not the best at night photography so sorry for the poor quality At the start of the year I was visiting Rome with some friends to study the architecture of the city and so when we learned of an abandoned Nervi stadium we couldn't pass up the opportunity to check it out. The Stadium...

Done to death but just had my pics developed and thought it may interest some to see a different take on Ushaw maybe?? Idk I've received positive comments on my previous reports regarding my use of film. By far the most photogenic part of this place is the Pool so thanks to the lads I bumped...

LAST VISIT - 23/07/2019 SECURITY - One stationed guard, doesn't move from that spot So I have been to a few places before, but never really been to anything this size before... I initially came to the naval base at night with a few mates and was blown away by the sheer size of the place. So...

On a very warm, sunny Easter Sunday myself and two friends ventured to South Devon to the Tides Reach Hotel. Being 22C the beach was packed, we had parked up in the Pay & Display car park opposite and spent a few hours enjoying the sandy beach. Patiently waiting for beach-goers to head back...

A kick start to 2019 with this fairly easy but highly satisfying explore. @WilsonTheHuman, @Carpathian and myself set off headed towards Herts and the swimming pool that has been repeatedly photographed by few aficionados of urbexing. The site lies in the middle of a huge park, alongside a...

Ran out of photo space on the previous report so here are the rest of them including the sports hall where someone has clearly had a lot of fun with paint pots, and some of the outsides of some of the other buildings on the site. The place is huge but it looks like the only accessible place is...

First explore of 2019 after a long break from exploring after I changed jobs (again) and ran out of enough spare time to go wandering! This place was quite a treat! Met up with my good friend @Proxy23 and a friend of hers and off we went to this place! Access to the site was much easier than...

Went here today for an explore and was good fun. Closed about 8 years ago and currently waiting to be demolished to be turned into houses. There was a few workers there putting up fences but they didn’t bother us.

Just come back from Havana Cuba which to me one of the best cities in the world to explore safely, only there for 4 days can't wait to go back one day soon. One of my highlights was finding this beautiful abandoned swimming pool by chance!!! Please see other abandoned Havana Cuba finds on my...

Océade was an indoor waterpark in Brussels, Belgium and the largest of its kind in the Brussels Capital Region. Originally part of a 3 park franchise, the other 2 parks located in France, it was the only park to remain in business after the French divisions closed. Running at a loss, the park...

came across this swimming pool a few days ago, access was easy enough, just straight through the fence! it was part of a large hotel complex that dates from the thirties hotel has been built on, there is an indoor pool aswell but not able to get in
