Re: Who remembers?
Memories, memories. I spent hours and hours at the baths when I was a youngster, had great times. I remember walking there from St Oswalds, then when I went to Paddock we had a bus take us. Do schools go to the baths now?
I think they did the best chips in accy across the road, it certainly tasted like it at 8pm on a cold wet night, (with wet hair). They used to have a Mynah bird that was a really good talker.
Leslie Dean was the headmaster at Hyndburn Park school, he once swam across Morecambe Bay. Mrs Broadley was the pool attendant, she would walk around with her hands behind her back and never seemed to miss anyone who was misbehaving, she also used to turf us out of the hot showers if we stayed in too long, I remember her beehive hairdo! Also remember going to Accy swimming club on a Wednesday evening. Those were the days.
