Date:1950 - 1955 (c.)

Description:The heated pool was built in the grounds of Trentham Hall, home of the Dukes of Sutherland. Trentham Hall was abandoned by the family as a permanent residence in 1905. In 1910 the Duke offered the hall to the County of Staffordshire and the Borough of Stoke-on-Trent. The offer was refused and the building was demolished, apart from the west front and stable block.

The grounds were opened to the public, and today have been developed as an exhibition, conference and leisure centre. The pool has now been filled in.
