Charity shop find last weekend - 2 good condition Sutton Corporation handbooks for a quid each - the first from 1962-3:-
And the second from 1965:-
The Mayor's message in the 62-3 edition mentions the proposed swimming baths:-
Whilst the 65 edition preface mentions the soon-to-be-redeveloped Parade:-
An early model of what would eventually become the Gracechurch Centre is in the 62-3 edition:-
Note - we still had local Civil Defence Committees in the 60's.
Whilst the 65 edition has an appeal to cover some of the cost of what-would-become Wyndley Baths (nice idea to "save on the amount to be borrowed" - pity later civic leaders could not take heed of this):-
Wonder how much it raised?
If anyone is interested I will scan and post both documents in full.
