Photo of Overstone, The Swimming Pool c.1955

More about this scene

The next two views were taken around the swimming pool north of Overstone Manor. They are typical scenes from the more hardy 1950s, when the country was dotted with open air pools and lidos. The changing room and seating shelter is built in classical style, while Tudor fake timber-framing, complete with a thatched roof, is the style of the main building.

I have sepia photos of Overstone - somewhere, I wonder if it is possible that they are Francis Frith images? I have a b&w photo of my mum, my brother and myself sitting in front of a bank of daffodills, I think it was taken on a visit to Overstone. Mum always told me that someone well known had taken the phot.
My parents kept our caravan at Overstone - on the far side near the lake. One year, 1953 I think, the National Caravan Rally came to Overstone and the field filled up with hundreds of caravans. I think this photo is the milk queue!
