Where exactly was the pool located? What stands in its place today?

Where exactly was the pool located? What stands in its place today?The Pitz/Power league outdoor 5 aside pitches with the former indoor bowls arena directly behind, the buildings to the left bottom at the bend are now flats and thats where the shows were. To the right beside the 5 aside pitches is housing and thats where the iconic Power station was. At the top end of the now football pitches is Kwik Fit and the only remaining tenement is to the left as facing Kwik Fit just before the turn into Fishwives Causeway
