Halifax Swimming Baths

The mosaic, a mid-1960s ceramic mural titled British Pond Life by Kenneth Barden, features in the wall of the old Halifax Swimming Baths at Skircoat Road.

At the moment the building is closed, having ceased to operate through the pandemic and it was earmarked for demolition with a new multi-million pool and leisure centre to be built on the site of an existing sports complex at North Bridge, Halifax, which is also currently closed pending demolition.

Cool snaps. Had a look at this a couple of years ago but was tighter than a very tight thing!

Nice shots, I hope they save that mosaic.
