The Pyramids Centre’s swimming pool was a great place for families to have some fun.

It was announced in 2020 the swimming pool would be closed before it was replaced with a soft play centre.

We decided to dive into The News archives to find photos of people enjoying the pool at the Pyramids Centre.
