Valence Swimming Baths!!

A Memory of Dagenham.

I was bought up in Dagenham and went to Valence swimming pool regularly with my school. If you had signed up to go swimming at the start of the school year you had to go  - whatever the weather!! I always had a cup of Oxo afterwards to warm me up!!  When Dagenham indoor pool was built in the early 70's it seemed like sheer luxury!! What a shame it has become so run-down now.............
