I love this photo as it brings back memories of long hot summers in the 70s when I was little and seemed to be there all the time. We would take picnics and spend all day swimming and sunbathing. The pool has long since been covered over and you can no longer run around the grass mound at the back or lie on your back gazing up at the tall poplar(?) trees which were planted all round the perimeter. So thanks for reminding me of those long lost days of childhood - I can almost smell the chlorine!

Wonderful Memories of outdoor Hartham. Things change for money but are not the same anymore. Spent weekends on the grass in the foreground just relaxing and then going in for a dip. Happy days.

Used to swim in the river Lea near Hertford Football ground until the swimming pool opened. Went twice a day during summer holidays, bought a season ticket each year. Do not like it now it has been covered.
