This print takes us back to the year 1935, capturing a snapshot of the GWR Sports Pavilion in Swindon. The image showcases an array of facilities that were available for both athletes and visitors alike. At first glance, our eyes are drawn to the inviting plunge pool, shimmering under the sunlight filtering through nearby windows. Its crystal-clear waters beckon swimmers to take a refreshing dip on hot summer days. Adjacent to the pool stand rows of showers, ready to cleanse tired bodies after intense workouts or exhilarating matches on the adjacent sports fields. These state-of-the-art washing facilities provide comfort and convenience for all who frequented this vibrant hub of athleticism. The GWR Sports Pavilion stands proudly along Shrivenham Road, serving as a testament to Swindon's rich sporting heritage. Beyond its functional purpose, it also serves as a social gathering spot where friendships are forged and memories are made. As we delve into this historical photograph, it is important to note that it represents more than just bricks and mortar; it symbolizes community spirit and camaraderie fostered within its walls. This cherished landmark has witnessed countless victories celebrated with jubilation and defeats met with resilience. Preserved at STEAM Museum of the GWR, this print offers us a glimpse into an era when physical fitness was highly valued by society while reminding us of the timeless importance placed on recreation in our lives – be it swimming laps in a plunge pool or simply sharing laughter with friends within
