Louth's 3 swimming pools: no.3
Not all at the same time! This is the latest, in the Meridian Leisure Centre in Wood Lane, which opened in 2010. Many considered the no.2 swimming pool (
Image) was still perfectly OK. Nevertheless, for the swimmers at least, both these were a vast improvement on no.1 (
Image), the original, open-air pool.
Of course the new Leisure Centre also caters for additional activities. Nevertheless it took up a piece of the Wood Lane football pitch. http://www.louthuk.co.uk/meridianleisurecentre.html

Footpath to Stewton Lane, and the Monks' Dyke
After recent clearing, you can just see the Cistercian monks' dyke as it emerges from its culvert under the St.Bernard's Avenue estate, on its way from St.Helen's Spring in the Gatherums, Louth, to Louth Park Abbey.
The monks cut out the channel to divert the water to their abbey.

Dreams of fishes past: footpath by the Monks' Dyke
The cat lives in hope!
After recent clearing, you can see the Cistercian monks' dyke as it emerges from its culvert under the St.Bernard's Avenue estate, on its way from St.Helen's Spring in the Gatherums, Louth, to Louth Park Abbey.

The clearing operation has revealed all the junk that has been thrown into the dyke.

Handrail way
This rather circuitous looking footpath is necessary for access from the former railway trackbed to the raised street level at Wood Lane. View looking north.

Holy Trinity Church just above, on Eastgate.
