Down The Slide And Off The Diving Boards

A Memory of Waltham St Lawrence.

I was a grateful and keen swimmer as a child at the village. It was a delight to go and spend long summer days at Martins pool. I taught myself to swim dive and nearly drown. Many of my friends would also spend their sixpence to splash in this lavish pool of its day. This would include the Davis boys the Hayes' The Simpsons Thomsons Pikes to name a few.

I remember this swimming pool c1960. Biking over, or even walking there, from Hare Hatch in the school holidays. Great memory!
I visited this pool just once when I was very young, would have been late 1950's, early 60's. Could you please tell exactly where in the village it was located?
