Blackheathens will have been enjoying a swim BLACKHEATH POOL for 80 YEARS as the 2009/10 season opens!
"In 1929 The Citizen’s Committee was formed and carried out considerable amount of work by voluntary labour to convert the old upper dam into a swimming pool. Pool ready for use in the summer of 1929/30. As soon as work finished on the conversion of the old railway dam into a swimming pool a group of local residents established a swimming club. Theclub existed for nearly 50 years and conducted competitive swimming, water ballets and other types of aquatic events in the pool." excerpted from BMCC's Blackheath Memorial Park Draft Plan of Management July 2009 p.68
