EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1985, we are transported back to the grand opening of the Newport Centre in Kingsway, Newport. The focal point of the leisure pool is undoubtedly the majestic European date palm tree that stands tall on its very own island. As we catch a glimpse into this new entertainment complex, it's clear that every detail has been meticulously designed to create an atmosphere of relaxation and enjoyment. Victoria Williams, a young woman from Gaer, eagerly takes advantage of an early preview before starting her work at Shapes health suite within the centre. Her excitement is palpable as she explores the state-of-the-art swimming pool surrounded by lush greenery and tropical vibes. The presence of this magnificent palm tree adds a touch of exotic elegance to the already impressive facility. Its towering height and vibrant foliage serve as a reminder that even in landlocked Newport, one can escape to paradise within these walls. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also represents an era when leisure centres were becoming increasingly popular across Europe. It symbolizes progress and modernity while providing locals with much-needed recreational opportunities. As we admire this image today, let us appreciate how far our society has come since then – both in terms of architectural advancements and our understanding of creating spaces for wellness and relaxation.
