Memories of Upper Farm Swimming Pool 1938, Box Hill
Sometime in The 1950s
Imagine my delight as a child to discover there was a swimming pool on top of Box Hill!
Although we lived in Sussex we would often have "days out" in Kent or Surrey.
Box Hill was a favourite, and I remember a swim on a particularly hot day, it was my first experience of an open air swimming pool. The photo is just as I remembered it and I would love to know what is on the site now, and when it was closed.

I am the boy on the bicycle in the foreground of this view of The Upper Farm camping site. I am a member of the family that ran The Upper Farm business. My father built the swimming pool which is featured in other photos.

Work
From leaving Bookham I moved to Dorking where I worked for the same family at Dorking High Street, Earlswood Lakes and their Wimpy bar at Box Hill, it was good. I lived over the shop, the tobacconist, and I know and love Dorking.
