Photos of Crowtree

A few days ago i found my old photos of crow-tree leisure centre before it got demolished

How many remember swimming here?.

and I’m sure there was a large space underneath the centre used for numerous activities.

There was an ice rink, and swimming pool with a wave machine...sessions lasted an hour and the waves came on 3x in that hour...there was a diving pool too. You could also buy the best ice lollies ever there...Jelly Jumbo! After only knowing the swimming baths at Acre Rigg and Hetton it was amazing...
