Stanley Deason Leisure Centre

A well kept secret of the city's sports facilities under the Freedom Leisure umbrella. Less of a leisure centre, more like the sports hall complex of an independent fee-charging school. Inside: Badminton, squash and a cardio gym. Outside: basketball, 5 a side. It seems to be the wrong way round with the main entrance round the back and the back door at the front.... If only there was a swimming pool and a café here then this place would be paying for itself hand over fist day in and day out.
