North Bridge Leisure Centre has been a staple venue in Halifax for many years.

Work is currently taking place to build a new leisure centre on the site of the old North Bridge Leisure Centre.

So far the old leisure centre has been partially demolished with work taking place to create the foundations for the building.

We’re taking a look back at pictures from events at the former leisure centre during the 200s – can you spot anyone you know?
