Guinea Gap Baths
A Memory of Wallasey.
My memory is not so much as my own, but about what my grandfather told me. He says there was no such thing as swimming baths when he was young. Their swimming baths was the docks, if the 'cocky watchman' wasn't keeping an eye out for them. The memory I have is short and one I feel proud of. When Guinea Gap was being built his father, my great grandfather, was one of the workmen who helped to dig out the foundations (no such thing as mechanical diggers back then). This was when the golden guineas were found, what his part was in the finding of these guineas I dont know, I just wish that I knew more. Thank you for letting me share this with you all.
