Swimming Lessons

Swimming Pool, Kingsbury Road c1955
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I went to Roe Green school, living in Princes Ave. We had to walk across the grass to the pool to have swimming lessons, very cold water, but great fun. Funnily enough my sister and I have been recalling our lives in the area recently. She went to Kingsbury County, while I went to Orange Hill, all the shops have changed og course but the basic layout is still the same. It appeared countrified back then.
The church is where our parents married , we were christened. A lovely church.
I would be interested to hear from anyone who lived in the area then.
