A MAN has written a book in memory of a well-known local sportsman to raise funds in an effort to keep Bingley Pool open. Bingley resident Alan Cattell, who has written five history books about the town and surrounding areas, has written Bingley Baths - A Lasting Legacy. The book details the history of the pool before and after its official opening in 1928. The book retails at £6.99 and all the profits will go to the Friends of Bingley Pool, who are trying the keep the pool open for the community. “People had to wait 61 years to get a swimming pool,” said Alan. “At the time people were saying ‘it’s ridiculous we have to go to Shipley or Keighley. So why don’t we have our own pool?’”
