IT has been sad to see the pictures of the Newport Centre being demolished in recent weeks so we thought we take a look back through our archives for pictures of people having fun in the centre's popular swimming pool.
The pool area now stands as a shell within the city centre demolition site with the big water slide just visible within the debris. But this is how the centre was used and much-loved by city residents.
