was this the Derby Baths or Lido? Derby baths had salt water in it
It's Derby Baths, sorrybout that.
This was the first baths I ever went too aged about 8, in 1960, my mum took me whilst on holiday I came out of the changing rooms before my mum and saw all the other kids jumping in and having a great time.. It looked great so I jumped in... In the end that said 32 feet deep as you can imagine I panicked as I could not swim I grabbed a mans leg as he swam past me I hung on like a limpet he must have wondered whet the eck was happening. he put me on the side of the pool and I spent the rest of the afternoon crying and did not want to go swimming ever again... the next time I went swimming it was in the canal at Ince. that was much more pleasant !!!
The missing name is George Leech
