Valance Swimming Pool

A Memory of Dagenham.

My name was Annie Sorrell. Moved to Margery Rd in the early sixties and the gates to the park, where the swimming pool was situated, were at the bottom of our short street. Spent all day, everyday in the swimming pool during the summer school holidays with my friend Carol Holt. It had three diving boards and a spring board. Loved the spring board. Also had a buffet area where you could buy a hot oxo drink and sunbathe till you was ready to go back into the water. Happy, happy days
