Greatest ever England captain.

[pipppy]

Wasn't there a bronze bust of Captain Webb in the swimming baths which used to be across the road from the New York Tavern?

The old baths opposite the post office going into the old market. Learnt to swim there with school then used to go on a Saturday morning and at the end getting a toasted tea cake. Those were the days!

When I told me mam I was going to swimming baths she replied ? yer not goin until yer can swim ?🤣

We had a whip round from skool on one visit to get one of the girls on T other side to run up and back topless after we got out , about 2/6 I think - mr Ellis weren?t impressed !!!
