Maidenhead
Fond farewell to the Magnet after 45 memorable years
This weekend will see the Braywick Leisure Centre open for the first time. Its predecessor, the Magnet Leisure Centre, has been standing in Holmanleaze since 1975 and became a key part of Maidenhead life. Reporter Kieran Bell spoke to some of those associated with the old centre about their memories.
A new era is on the horizon for Maidenhead as the state-of-the-art Braywick Leisure Centre opens this weekend, but the move will see the town wave goodbye to a key part of its history after 45 years.
