Letchworth Childhood

Seeing the fountain in this picture brings back childhood memories from the 1950/60s of sailing boats up and down the paddling pool at weekends or when your parents took you down on a sunny afternoon. Summer fetes and funfair on the grass area between the paddling pool and Norton Way South, last but not least playing in the small wood behind the paddling pool before the Council cut it down and spoilt it!

Visiting

The lady in the centre of the photograph walking towards the camera is Mrs Kate Silsby my grandmother who lived at 8 Tilehouse Street. When this was taken we think she would have been walking to St Ippollytts to visit her daughter Mrs Babs Brown.

Oakmere

I have found a painting  of Oakmere House, Potters Bar dated 1935. I believe the house is now a Beefburger Resaurant. There is a clearer view of the house from across the lake, there is the large pine tree & smaller trees on the right of photp, the trees & bushes on the left have not yet grown.  It is an interesting painting relating to a modern photo. I can be contacted on 07752033574 if you are interested.

My favourite place as a kid

I spent most of the summers of the mid 60's in this pool and learnt to dive off the platform board in 1967.  I swam all of my major medal and cetificate swims in this pool. The fountain was a place to play when not swimming.
