...it is quite easy to guess what it is, but the actual name is a difficult one, an unusual name and is it still derelict or what has happened to it since 2001

It is located in North Manchester

nope !!

....it had been closed in 2001 and condemned, I believe, because there is another fitness & Leisure center nearby

I think it was strangely located in a district/township called Blackley  ???
