Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

Valence Park swimming pool I remember always being cold. It cost a couple pennies in old money, cup of oxo and a thick biscuit, and the old changing sheds by the pool, 2 foot gap top and bottom of door, freezing, haha. The noise in there - I can still hear it now. What fun we all had, I also remember the bandstand, and Sunday am people reading their Sunday papers, just relaxing, good times. My name is Bryan Cole, I went to Triptons year of 1966, I look forward to hearing from anyone from Triptons.
