i am looking for pics of derby pool, i cannot remember how it was when i went as a child,many moons ago. i believe the frontage has been kept, by my memory tells me pool was around back, but on viewing earlier there is no land at back, was it where the car park now is????.
i am going back 40yrs plus thanks in advance.

No it was further over, to the right of the current building as you look at the front of the Derby Pool Pub, the pub is to the left of where the original buildings and pool were, the front of the baths was further forward than where the pub is now.

More stuff on the Derby Pool in this thread clicky. As Sneezy says the modern Derby Pool pub was built next to the old Harrison drive car park, not on the site of the pool itself.
