Report - Temple Cowley Pools - Oxford - July 2016

[xexxa]

Decided to go to Oxford with non-member after reading some good reports etc. Left early, found everything gone except this gem. I loved this place, just my kinda thing. A bit small, but plenty of time can be spent here.

Oxford council decided to sell it off for £3.5m and it closed 23rd December 2014. It's been empty since and is in very good condition. Not really very much history on it, but a great explore. On with the photos.

The main pool. I kick myself at times like this for not getting a full frame camera...

I beg to differ...

Xexxa was a stupid username to choose

(I also love that pool alarm sign too. Press button, rejoice at bacon received)


Interested to know who leaves such a luxurious safe behind?!

Anyway, that was that. Next stop Crookham court.... Ah... Builders are in..... Make that RAF Greenham then...

Looks like it would have been a nice pool when open, good work...

Doesn't look like much has changed since my visit apart from a clean up and removal of the fences, good work!

Looks like it would have been a great pool when opened. Nicely captured
