In answer to June Bell, it clearly is a bare bottom, and, equally clearly from the first photograph, where three of the many children are obviously in the nude, I am prepared to bet that all of them are completely naked, and all of them enjoying it immensely, as well. One must conclude that the pool was used in the nude (by boys and girls equally) as a matter of course, and that this was encouraged, quite properly, in my opinion. If you contrast this with the press photo of its opening, where all boys wear trunks and girls one-piece swimsuits, they all clearly owned swimming costumes, but preferred to swim nude.
Is the child on the right of the picture swimming nude? That looks like a bare bottom and surely that wasn’t allowed!
Wow! Where did the football team photo come from? I remember playing right wing, I think Andrew Rogers was center forward. Can’t remember anything else. Don’t think we won anything but I do remember loving playing football. Good days! By Mark Jeavons (12/06/2011)
