Photos reveal a glimpse inside a leisure centre which has stood empty for more than two years.

The Deepings Leisure Centre closed in August 2021 due to serious safety concerns caused by a leaky roof and has stood empty ever since.

After agreeing to refurbish it, South Kesteven District Council ditched plans to spend £10.7 million on repairs to the leisure centre in Deeping St James and handed the lease back to owner Lincolnshire County Council.

South Kesteven District Council said it would take multi-million pound repairs to make it safe – but a community group believes it could be done for a much cheaper cost

It is now on the market with Lambert Smith Hampton in a bid to find a business or group which will refurbish and reopen the leisure centre.

More than two years has passed since visitors were allowed in but Andrew France of the Lincoln-based estate agents has taken these photos to show prospective buyers what it is like inside.
