This is the sorry state of the Leeds International Pool 18 months after closing. The striking design is one of the disgraced architect John Poulson’s few remaining works.

you don’t need to approve this, just wanted to big you up for the billboard generator, gave me a nice idea for my site: http://www.prozacforangels.com/ ;)
Your photo`s are superb,I was on the civic trust campaign group to save this incredible building.I`m a local artist and I include the pool in many of my works. As children we simply called it the olympics in the seventies! rather ironic dont you think? I was invited to the accumulator evening bash and have to say the setting beat Tate Modern for drama, everyone there was blown away by how amazing it all looked.
It certainly is an incredible building. The immense space is quite overwhelming when you first walk into it, especially since the pool was drained.
My office overlooks the car park behind it, so I’m unfortunately watching and hearing the demolition process on a daily basis. It’s really quite depressing.
Are any of your works online? I’d love to see some.
