The Boating Pool

The Childrens Boating Pool c1955

The boating pool at Shoebury Common was a must visit every weekend I was there.  In later years they had canoes and we used to sit up on the top of the canoe at the back and not in the cockpit.  Never fell in though.  Would not be allowed nowadays in this health and safety culture.  Just at the back of the pool was the putting green.  You can see the hut where you used to pay and get your clubs and balls from on the right hand side of the photo.  Think it had 9 holes but we neve got round without racking up a huge score.  I think this area has now been landscaped.
