We moved from Forest Road Walthamstow to 34 Leonard Road Chingford in 1953.

I attended Chase Lane primary school and then Wellington Avenue Secondary Modern at Chingford Mount.

We often went to Larkswood Pool and would spend all day there taking our lunch with us.

The school used to take us to Larkswood Pool for swimming once a week during the summer term. We used to travel on a really old bus that had trouble getting up Chingford Mount and sometimes would not make it and we had to disembark and walk back to the school.

I always remember the pristine gardens a the entrance to the pool, which were always neat tidy and never any rubbish.

When did it close ?
