Millhouses swimming pool in the 60's

Remember this before the lido when the water was cold and dark straight from the hills and the deep end was deep.

Sure can and we walked from the wicker to go there. If I remember right you put your clothes in something like a wire basket.

You did and got a rubber band with the number on it.

 I remember the wire baskets and the rubber band with the number on it. There was a small water treatment plant near the shallow end that gave the water a not unpleasant smell but the water had a slight green tinge & was very cold.  I could never summon up the courage to dive from the top board into the 15 foot deep water at the deep end. It was noticeable that there were usually more people sunbathing than swimming. The pool closed in about 1969 & was replaced by the lido a couple of years later. I always thought that the lido was a pretty feeble affair.
