Hi all,
This is my first post.
Ducker, built in 1866 for Harrow school boys as a swimming pool. It was open to the public in the early part of the 20th century but now it stands derelict.
Welcome to the jungle
Nature has virtually taken back this pool, there are still a few visible walls from the pool but the majority of it is under dense vegetation. The pool itself has accumulated a lot of dirt and most of it has turned into a swamp. There is no trail leading up to it, and I actually ended up standing inside the pool while looking for it. I realized where I was as I turned around and saw a barely visible blue wall.

The image below is a direct shot into the pool itself; as if one were standing on the edge of it about to take a dive.

If someone had stop at this point and had a brief look they would have been staring directly into the pool but could have easily missed it entirely and thought they had stumbled onto a swamp.
A burnt down building close to the pool, this is something that appears to have happened a lot more recently, unfortunately, I've got no information on what happened or what it was.
