Former swimming pool site hits the market

CALDERDALE Metropolitan Borough Council is selling the freehold interest of  Brighouse Swimming Pool.

The site consists of the former swimming pool and two adjacent car parks and is located opposite Brighouse town centre.

A new facility, The Brighouse Pool and Fitness Centre on Woodvale Road, opened last October to replace the 98-year-old baths at Mill Royd Street which closed down in 2006.

Matthew Bagley, associate director at Jones Lang LaSalle’s Leeds office, who is advising on the sale, said: “Bringing the property to the market is a positive step in its transformation.

“The site offers an exciting opportunity for a potential buyer to redevelop it for a range of property uses taking advantage of its canal side location and proximity to the Brighouse town centre.”
