Mercer Hall baths , one of the biggest mistakes a Labour controlled HBC ever made after the amalgamation of the UDCs (but thats hindsight, sp?) a George Slynn project , the "original" Mercer Hall was a town treasure , remember going there from infants and junior school to hear musical recitals from members of the Halle orchestra (the acoustics were supposed to be superb) the dance floor was a good as Accy Con club (another place allowed to fall into rack and ruin ).
Seem to remember that a new swimming bath was proposed to be built on land between the Mercer Hall and the 'old' Library (site of the now closed oboslete Co-op), But Councillor Slynn sold out and shafted Arrod (Gt, Harwood)
