Year: 1980 Tamworth outdoor swimming pool
I have wonderful memories of visiting 'Tamworth baths' on a Sunday afternoon. I loved swimming underneath the concrete barrier and always had to watch I didn't lift my head up too early!
Mum used to take me and she would sunbath and I would swim. Everyone was really friendly and it is such a shame the outdoor 'baths' are no longer there.
