Pathetic isn't it . . .we used to regularly explore the Cement works, just for fun, climb the ladder up the chimney etc etc.
now it warrants photo's and a website seeking some kind of medal or something.
We swam in the proper old pool as youngsters, a lad at School was a great swimmer, Stephen Acres, I think he won the pier to pier race a few times.
early teens we played pool there and went bowling, used to get he bus over.
took my lad to the (modern 80's toss) pool until relatively recently...
