Memories of using the miniature railway to get to the open air swimming pool. Summer holidays were spent with either my brothers or my friends, exploring Trentham Gardens and Park, and swimming in the open air swimming pool. Little did we know how lucky we were to live so near to Trentham Gardens that we could use it as our playground. You could only get to the swimming pool either by foot or by this railway, which took you from nearby the lake to the gates of the swimming pool. The railway ran alongside the lake, through woodland. Amazing memories.

A memory of Trentham in Staffordshire shared on Thursday, 22nd September 2011.

My great uncle Walter Brown worked at Crewe on the main line trains. He later ran the train around Trentham Gardens. What a treat it was to be allowed into such a lovely place!
