If I'm on the pics I'll be noticed-with my "inflatable" cozzie and-I haven't revealed this to you yet!!!!!!!-my rubber swimming cap festooned with frills of Nottingham lace and pretty coloured rubber daisies! There weren't many of those about at that time!!!!
I can't pin down as to when the baths closed-I think they were open throughout the sixties-because only girls had to wear rubber swimcaps-until long hair became fashionable for boys(60's) and then they had to wear caps too-but not like mine!!!I moved to South Wales in 70's(until late 80's) and seem to think it was during my stay there that the baths closed-I remember visiting my home area-and every time i came another part of my roots seemed to have been demolished or changed.
