Sunny Days at Market Drayton Swimming Pool.
I lived in Market Drayton from 1960 to 1963. I was at Market Drayton Grammar school and I lived on Buntingsdale estate. I remember going to the swimming pool. It was always sunny when I went. I would spend nearly every day there in the summer holidays and sometimes I would go after school. I had a friend called Jean who lived on Buntingsdale estate and 2 other friends called Ruth and Sylvia who lived in villages near Market Drayton. Sylvia's family had a garage. We used to go on out bikes to Hawkstone Park and wander round. My name was Audrey Lamb then. I was 11 when I came to Market Drayton and I must have been about 13 when I left.

RE: RE: Sunny Days at Market Drayton Swimming Pool.
I have written extensively about my formative years in Market Drayton and the outdoor swimming baths was something that played a large part in the summer activities of my sister(Kathleen)and me.
I have very fond memeories of how we queued to get our season tickets each year and were there nearly every single day of the summer holidays and many days after school at other times. I can see my sister now as she jumped into the water by the pavillion holding her nose and wearing a bright yellow bathing cap.
We walked home the 2 miles or so to Dalelands and our parents never had to worry
They were indeed, very happy and innocent times-not at all like those we have today!
