I remember the boating pool in Swan Pool Park, the park keeper was Mr. Willits, he still owes me a go in a paddle boat, I hired a boat, I think it cost 3d, after a few minuets rowing, he called me in and said he needed to go, but if I came back he would let me have a boat for nothing, does anyone know where Mr. Willits lives... fond memories.
I remember Swan Pool Park from the 1950s-60s. It is in South Road, Stourbridge. There used to be paddle-boats available to hire in the early 1960s, and there were lovely weeping-willow trees - even, perhaps, swans. The pool was filled in during the 1970s, and the playground became derelict.  How sad.
