Urban Exploration: Photographs taken at the Scarborough South Bay pool whilst it lay derelict in 1997, the site had been closed off to the public and upon my visit there was a large amount of graffiti and the roof of the old locker room had been partially ripped off exposing the lockers you see in my shots below, also the old cafe door had been broken into by vandals and was left open for exploration, I could also gain access to the changing room which led to a staircase going down to the entrance of the main pool, which is the photograph of the metal gate seen below. The place had a very eerie feel to it as it was yet another place that used to be full of life and laughter from my childhood and my parents childhood that now lay in ruin's.
As a child I remember spending the best part of the summer swimming there, the water was always highly chlorine filled because of all the sea water that flooded the pool and I always remember cutting my feet in the paddling pool from all the broken tiles at the bottom of it. The area has long since been cleared.
