I remember using the Larkswood swimming pool in all weathers, even having to break the ice. I also remember the horrible changing rooms and sitting for hours on the hills - sometimes never bothering to swim. You could leave all of your stuff and go off to buy crisps and stuff and no one bothered you or took your things. Does anyone remember the small hall at the entrance to the pool where shows were held for the pigeon, canary and budgie fanciers?
