The Swimming Pool
I remember this pool well, all the boys running around trying to look good for the girls, and all the girls sat around the fountain pretending not to watch, and the PE teacher throwing us in so we would learn to swim. Halycon days. I never did learn to swim but will never forget the times we had. We moved away in 1966 and I never got back till my own children were teenagers. I often wonder how all the people I knew back then got on in life. Sadly it's 43 years in the past and I don't even remember names.

RE: RE: The Swimming Pool
Yes, the baths in this photograph are exactly as I remember it. I now live in Essex, but visit Shropshire fairly regularly as my mother still lives there. I was in Market Drayton a short while ago - but have never been to the swimming pool since those long, far off magical days. I have posted, on U-tube, the old Grammar School song - when I hear it, it reminds me of those very innocent days -not at all like the current ones.
