Wales Empire Pool

The Wales Empire Pool, known locally as the Empire Pool, was an international standard swimming pool building, located in Cardiff, Wales from 1958 until it was demolished in 1998. It was a centrepiece for the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games.
==Background==
A site on Wood Street in the centre of the Cardiff had been identified in the 1930s as a good location for a new swimming baths.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.coflein.gov.uk/en/site/3065/details/EMPIRE+POOL/ )〕 However, the construction of a new pool was not realised until Cardiff was chosen as the hosts of the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games. The pool's site was immediately next to the Cardiff Arms Park, which was the main stadium for the Games.
Work on the new pools began in January 1956〔 and the completed building was opened by the Lord Mayor of Cardiff, J. H. Morgan, on 18 April 1958,〔 two months before the Empire Games started. The City Council were initially reluctant to finance the new pool, but agreed to do so when confronted with the ultimatum of "No Pool – No Games".〔 The total cost of construction was £650,000〔 and the 1958 Empire Games went on to achieve a financial surplus of £37,000.〔
The building was designed by D. M. Davies, believed to be influenced by Peter Behrens' 1910 AEG turbine factory. The Royal Institute of British Architects differs in opinion, attributing the design to John Dryburgh, the City Architect 1957–74.
