Broomhill Pool - 1996 Season – John Carter’s Photographic Record
The Broomhill Pool Trust is indebted to John Carter, a former Head Lifeguard at Broomhill Pool, who has donated his personal scrapbook of the 1996 season. John’s journal brings back a lot of fantastic memories, and importantly provides a complete photo journal of a season at Broomhill. We hope that the full scrapbook (with over 180 images) will form an exhibit piece at a restored Broomhill. However, for now, we are delighted to share 24 of John’s images. John’s notes also show an official end of season report for 1995 showing that 42,922 swims took place that season. 19785 in August; a huge 1572 in one day on 31 July 1995!
Total number of signatures so far 18552
