Swimming in urban decay: Eerie images of Britain's forgotten pools left derelict after the Victorian golden age of public bathing

• Italian-born photographer Gigi Cifali, 37, captured the decline of Britain's public swimming from the shallow end
• He decided to take the photos from inside the swimming pools to tell the story from the swimmers' point of view
• Ten public pools have been shut completely and another 24 shut and reopened since 2010 in London alone

Looks as in my neighbourhood. Here many pblic pools are closed as well. Very beautiful old ones from the pre-war era amongst them.
