Memories of Aldershot, the Bathing Pool

  Aldershot Lido
As kids my brother Ray and my sister Jan and myself spent every weekend and all the summer holidays at the lido, we used to take our food and stay for the day. We had season tickets and I must admit the summers seemed warmer.  Sue Marriott (Crockford).

  Year: 1958 Aldershot Swimming Pool
I remember learning to swim in this pool. Once a week we would be taken from school. After our lessons we always had some sandwiches which our mothers sent with us. I always had lettuce and marmite sandwiches. To this day when I have the same sandwiches I can see and smell the swimming pool!

I Was Born Here... New Added Today
I was born in this hospital in 1973 - don't remember much about it to be honest! LOL!

It's long gone now.

Aldershot, the Bus Station c1965 (ref: A31124)
Year: 1975 To North Town
I'd get the number 11 or 12 bus (I think?) religiously for 3 years, every day after school, having gone across the railway bridge at the station, from the now defunct St. Joseph's Primary. Sometimes it would go via the military area up by Alamein Rd, and sometimes it would go via Redan Hill, past the footy ground. I never knew why?
The waiting bay at the station was home to several thousand pigeons. We used to try and feed them Space-Dust!

Talavera Junior School 1970
Talavera Junior School is still standing and used, whereas Aldershot Manor School is now no more.  I went to both - living for a while just outside the gates of Talavera Junior.
