Reply With QuoteI know it seemed higher but it was probably only 5 about metres, the springboards were probably 1 and 3. That's the standard layout, I think. I was known as the Fancy Painted Glider back in my diving days, but that's another story.

Besides the obligatory polishing the statues nose with your towel on entry.
How high was the top board.?
I was about 9 and it seemed high.
Did a few inelegant entries.

1st board - 3ft, no metres in those days
2nd board - 9ft
Top one 15ft that seemed liked diving in Acapulco. Climbed up once to jump off and was brick scared. I was only about 12 though but looked about 9 year old. I was more scared climbing down the steps backwards. Wished I'd jumped instead.

That's about right Brin.....but seemed alot more when you was up there. We loved diving and bombing from up there. Used to go straight off nights about 1969, couple of pints in the Prince of Wales(still same inside now) then back to Parkgate to pick up our wages.
We all went to Blackpool and went in Derby rd Baths(?), we climbed to the top, we were level with the top of the tiered seats, and climbed back down.......no way going off that.

Practically lived there when I was young, perforated an eardrum retrieving a bit of tat jewellery from the deep end. Caused me problems to this day !!
