I first learnt to swim there - no sign of @COYBL25 lol the reason my dad travelled, it was a quieter bath's than Dovecot baths ....
Why oh why did you have to bring up Dovie baths I’d erased that place from my memory only for you to take me back to that place. Ffs I’ve been in that place when it was standing room only.
I ventured to the end of the springboard there in the 14 feet diving pool - these bigger lads all jumped at the beginning of the Spring board & catapulted me into a belly flop in the middle of the pool 14 ft deep lol
The real men (and I don’t include myself ) use to jump or dive from the top changing rooms balcony scary stuff.
H&S never existed in there - it was a free for all -lol
Adelphi - The hotel has attracted many famous names, including Winston Churchill and Frank Sinatra -

I grew up here, in the 80s, we left in 89 when they were plans to knock them down. There was some good people and a real sense of community. I miss it sometimes.
