The kiosk, the cubicles and the dragon

told by Val

SportGrowing Up

I lived in Halsbury Grove which is off Warren farm. I went to the old kingstanding Baths nearly every night with friends from school. We used to have a swimming pass that allowed us to use the baths without having to pay to get in.We loved that baths and were heartbroken when it finally closed. I remember the kiosk were you got your ticket to go in, girls changing rooms were on the right, boys were to the left. you got ready in a cubicle and had to remember the door number, so when you came out the pool the lady with the key could open the door for you. They had some nice staff but also had lady who was a right old dragon !! we got used to her and learned to avoid her at all cost.
