39 photos of an old Scarborough favourite - the Indoor Pool - and the people who loved it

Closed and boarded up since June 2017, the old indoor pool holds a special place in the hearts of so many Scarborough people.

Thousands learned to swim there, it hosted scores of galas by the town's two swimming clubs, plus schools and youth groups, and there were sessions for expectant mums, sub-aqua club events, fun sessions, disabled swimming club meetings ... and much more. The Ryndle Crescent pool opened on 8 January 1973; its facilities replaced now by the sports village. Scarborough Council has the building earmarked for demolition. Enjoy these photos of the good times there ...
