Is the pool still there? I bet it isn't ... I'd like a pound note (sorry, Coin!) for the Ttmes I went here swimming and generally fooling around. I also learned to dive from the top board too, and my faves were the bombs (jumping in and curling up a certain way to make a bloody great SPLASH) - and also getting banned many times for doing it!

RE: RE: Where I Learned to Swim

Sadly you're right, the old pool went last year and currently awaits redevelopment into housing. You may also remember the statue in the paddling pool of the two children reaching out to each other, the boulder remains but there is sadly no sign of the children.
