Sea Water Bathing & Paddling Pools, Between Chelsea Ave And Elizabeth Rd.
A Memory of Thorpe Bay.
No doubt at all about this location.
The Facility was renovated after the neglect of 5 years of war, but was never very popular. One had to pay to use the swimming pool, but the paddling pool adjacent on the Elizabeth Rd. side was free.
The dark line across the shore, with the dried-out boats beyond it - is the concrete protection to the Lifstan Way drainage outfall, - which - if memory serves, had been constructed with it's ending several hundred feet Southwards from the High-water mark. - Well away from the beach.
