FILM – Kill or Cure – Capture 12

Geoff Dodd who identified the location in this Capture further advises that the area that housed the pool was sold off but he is unsure as to whether it is now attached to the Hertsmere Jewish School built on the site or whether it is part of the Kendall Hall Farm. Either way, a later aerial view reveals sad but not unexpected deterioration. Surprisingly, the diving board seems to be extant. More recent Google Earth views show further significant changes.

Geoff provides these two screen captures from The Avengers – All Done With Mirrors of the pool in its heyday.
