Hi all. Did you ever swim in the Durnsford Road swimming pool (closed about a third of a century ago, now the site of the Sunshine Garden Centre)? I am the founder and now lead admin of the 854 member, three year old, 'friends of Durnsford Road Swimming Pool' Facebook group. We exist to safeguard the memories of and to foster the friendships between those who did swim there or who may have other reasons to consider themselves to be such friends. If that includes you, you would be very welcome to join us. Please just find us on Facebook. Looking forward to welcoming in. Regards to all, Geoff. 🏊🏿‍♀️.
