If you pay attention to what I say there you'll realize that what I described "a crime against local history" was the demolition of the former Hither Green Hospital, that was indeed a building complex of exceptional value, in fact I was so relaxed at the idea of losing Forest Hill Pools in favour of a modern replacement that I didn't even agree to being interviewed by Forest Hill Pools because I didn't want to give the impression that I was campaigning for the conservation of the old building.

That interview was in fact recorded in the alleyway on the side of the original Ladywell Baths that has a lot of history in common with Forest Hill Pools, I picked on the story of these two pools born together and crumbling together as a starting point for of longish monologue on old pools, budgets for conservation vs. budgets for sport etcetera, all stuff I still believe in, in fact the same things that I's saying in this thread.
The little fragment that survived the cutting room is about conservation, but not in any way support of the old Forest Hill Pools building.
