Filmed in 2006, as Forest Hill Pools was struggling for survival, the Friends of Forest Hill Pools produced this short documentary, a well crafted and very interesting document on local history as well as history of swimming pools in London.
Directed by James E. Melloy and presented by Steve Grindlay it documents the oldest working swimming pool in London.
So glad to see this as I now recall something about Thomas William Aldwinckle its architect, only recently. I’ve just found it again, it’s the fact that one of his articled pupils was Detmar Jellings Blow born in Forest Hill. A highly consequential fact when we come to talk about The William Morris Society and Arthur Halcrow Verstage. Wow!
