Swimming pool, Southbury Road

An undated postcard. When this pool opened in 1932 it was advertised in a contemporary borchure as "the largest open-air baths in the London area ... with room for 1,000 bathers at any one time. ... At each end of the swimming bath there is a sun-bathing beach, approximately forty feet by eighty feet, the shingle for which was obtained from Folkestone beach." - Fighting for the future, p. 259.
