The outfall from the power station made the water warm here so that we swam all year round - not for those who didn't know the currents. The visitors were amazed at our apparent hardiness, or perhaps foolhardiness.

RE: RE: Swimming at Sallyport

My late father Leslie Lewis Coles was a Mudlark and his name is on the monument there. I would like a copy of the book on the Mudlarks, can you help please, Dave.
