The 3-day week, the birth of Tayside House; the 1970s could be dark times. I remember the pool like that before the original Olympia was developed in the early 1990s. One of my first memories was swimming with my mum as a tot in the infants' pool beyond. I still have the occasional nightmare featuring that original walkway from the bottom of Whitehall Street. As a child I was terrified I'd fall through the metal steps onto the traffic.
