Market Drayton Swimming Baths

A Memory of Market Drayton.

Our PE teacher used to throw boys in if they didn't swim - being a dainty soul, I used to hide underneath the slide, quivering with anxiety! I didn't learn to swim till many years later (INDOORS at Shewsbury baths). We used to go down when it was raining - the theory being that the water would be warmer! I think the lowest temp was about 50 degrees and the highest 74. The fountain was great fun!

PS My dad met my mum at Market Drayton swimming pool - he was on leave from the RAF. So, I guess without the baths, I wouldn't be here now!
