The End of Leisure is a documentary photography project inspired by the decision to close Great Grimsby Swimming Pool in North-East Lincolnshire, known affectionately by locals as Scartho Baths . The decision made by the local council was immensely unpopular, attracting criticism from both local councillors and the Members of Parliament for Grimsby and the adjoining town of Cleethorpes. These photographs are a visual document of Scartho Baths taken two days prior to the closure of the building.
