Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I lived in Brixham between 2003 and 2015, before moving back to God's Country.
I occasionally swam in this pool, refreshed daily by the in-flow and out-flow of the tide.
'Twas the coldest pool I have ever used! Nice though, early in the morning when not
over-crowded...
It was under threat of closure by Torbay Council when I left in 2015 - thank
you Torbay Council!
I have fond memories of Shoalstone Pool. Both my sister and I learnt to swim in this pool. i can remember a swimming gala, about the time of the photo, we had to walk around the pool and up and over the diving board, which i was frightened to do as I didn't like heights !!!! Can also remember in the winter at high tides watching the sea wash over into the pool. So glad to hear recently that this freshwater pool is to be saved.
