It used to be surrounded by water and one day, myself, younger sister and a friend decided to go swimming there during the summer holidays. We wrapped our swimming costumes in towels, as we used to do when we went to the swimming baths, but when we got there we ‘chickened out’ when our friend’s swimsuit blew away as she was unwrapping it. Nevertheless we decided to carry on, and paddled instead with our dresses tucked into our knickers. I was surprised we didn’t get told off, but it was all so innocent. Probably about 1964-5.

I’ve signed the petition and circulated it as much as I can.
