If you have a photo ready to go then you go for it Grandarog - I would never have guessed the name of it.


It's a day I remember well.  It was a works outing some 60+ years ago and it sounded so exciting but when we arrived at the beach there was a freezing north easterly wind coming in.  We ended up at the swimming pool as at least is was sheltered.  We were sitting just opposite the camera position.  A quick dip is all we managed and then sat shivering eating our spam sandwiches and currant buns.  It left quite an image in my head and as soon as I saw the photo, I thought that must be the place.

Well I would never have guessed Sheerness .Went there loads of times years ago. Picture put me off.
Never saw the cascade working like the picture it was more of a pathetic trickle.

It is Sheerness but what was it known as? Only went in there once and as you say F Freezing, colder than the sea and probably not much cleaner

[John Walker]

Is it the Sheerness Swimming Pool? 


It looks like the place we went to in Sheerness once as kids.  The water was freezing.  My Dad decided to try the top diving board but when he got up there it was higher than he expected.  He tried to come down but there was a queue coming up behind him so he had to dive.  He didn't enjoy it at all as he hit the water badly.


If it's not there then I need to search further...

Snap!!!! but where is it and what was it's original name ? (not Lido)

[grandarog]

No idea where it is but here's the view I found while looking.
