Brilliant Andrew! Thank you so much, loved all of it except the bulldozing. Photos amazing!
I spent a lot of time there too. I recall going with my friend from Park View school on our own from being about 7/ 8 and giving her my water wings after dad told me to wear them. I guess he trusted lifeguards or maybe it was because I had 2 aunties working there that he and mam actually let us go on our own!

My auntie Jean Chisholm was often in the changing room. She let us into the roped off clean areas before anyone else and gave us extra time in the pool by giving us a different wristband.
I also got in for free if my auntie Eva Quensell was on reception. Eva is now 104 years old.

Dad used to take me and my brother some weekends.I did swimming badges there and had so much fun.
I worked at Hebburn Council Offices mid seventies and it was the view out of our office window for a while. Some of us from work swam in there too. I did try the sauna when that was introduced but it wasn’t for me.
I won’t bore anyone too much now.
I also did also occasionally go to Jarrow Baths after school from Jarrow Grammar.
