Longley park open air baths!!

[dunreet]

We spent most evenings after school on the hill behind on your photograph from 1951 to 1958 maybe later.We woud have a treat and go swimming when we could afford it.My friend Margaret Herbert lived quite near on Crowder Close so we would quickly do our homework and then spend the evening in Longley Park. We never caused any trouble just had lots of fun. There was a group of boys who also went I remember Mick Clifford but cannot remember other names. Any of you still out there.

Anyone out there remember going here? I would have been going there between the years 1978 - 1985. I remember Geoff(Didn't know his surname), but he was a life gaurd there and he smoked those long brown cigarettes, More menthol i think they were called. We used to jump over the fences at night and go for midnight swims....can anyone remember this? My memory is terrible, so i can only remember a few of us, but there were loads of us that used to go there and either sitin the shed nr the bowling greens or go swimming. We used to have a right laugh!!!! Come on, share your memorys of Longley Open Air Baths...who do you remember?
