The Walker Activity Dome (1965) (Image From Faulkner Brown Architects). A modernist approach to leisure centre design that still holds up to this day.
@JordanCReeve Spent a large percentage of my youth there from sports to up to no good 😂 my pal Ian Bell was actually in European competition in trampolining in the 80s 👍
@JordanCReeve Originally the Lightfoot Sports Centre or just the Dome. Next door to our school. Watched it being built....such a futuristic design with those beams.
@JordanCReeve Was always worried playing 5 a side there with those huge beams jutting into the corners of the pitch
@JordanCReeve Walker Activity Dome was of the 10 key examples we submitted for listing as part of our #C20LeisureCentres campaign; unfortunately this one was unsuccessful. x.com/c20society/sta…
