    we are now using a backup solution

Victoria Road Swimming Baths

Rod, I bet your younger than me they did take the boards down in the later years.
that board at Woodcock St, WAS LIKE JUMPING OF LEWISE'S. I only did it once had soar feet for weeks! :idiot2:
G.E.C Witton used to hold there annual Swimming Gala at Woodcock St Baths.Have still got the pewter tankard I won back in the 50s :angel:
My father Charles freeman worked at the G.E.C. and was a judge at the G.E.C. swimming Galas in 50s, of which I've got various B+w photos. If anybody is interested let me know I'm not sure how well this history site works because the posts relate to 2007 - 2011, thanks anyway. Ian Freeman.
