Please tell me which pool was used in this episode, Failsworth? Chadderton? Racking my brains.

Thank you, those old pools are beautiful. Maybe the Manchester ones which I knew of are now dust and rubble.

Yes that is a beautiful pool. I'm sorry that you were fooled by the sad individual who responded to your query. He seems to be (judging by his other posts) the embodiment of a troll...

Thank you. Interesting, the pool must be an icon of its age.

Silly me for believing him or her, probably drunk or stoned. Trolls have a life I don't envy. Sad individuals. Thanks for your reply though. Sorry I didn't see it earlier.

I believe it is the Rowntree Baths here in York, gifted to the City by the Company (between the wars?) An unfashionable 50 yards long, it is a good long swim. Spectator balcony sits above the changing cubicles down the side. In my day it was heated by power from the adjacent main factory site, and employees got a concessionary entrance rate. I used to take the kids there for swimming club on a Friday night, and it cost pennies.

I believe it is the only remaining Council pool, the others have gone for redevelopment.

It looked like the pool where the Cumberbatch-incarnation of Sherlock was lured by Moriarty?

the Sherlock swimming Baths was Bristol South (Gatiss swam there when he was at Uni...) :D

The pool used in this production is Bramley Baths in Leeds, the same one that was used in a recent episode of DCI Banks.

Thank you, mystery solved!
