What a lovely surprise for us youngsters from Northbrooks - a beautiful new place to swim! No big scary fish or slimy weedy things to twist around you in those early days.

This old building has undergone a number of changes over the years. Once a large elm stood close by, but this was lost during the problems with Dutch elm disease. The area around is now built up and lies in the outskirts of Harlow.
