First of all, talking about a few kind of catch-ups and some communications over the last week or so. Now, we've recently been talking, haven't we, about why Paul House in Bancroft Road in Rygate is called Paul House. And I suggested that there used to be a swimming pool there, but it was odd because there was another one just around the corner. opposite the Town Hall in Reigate.

We've had a flurry of stories come in over the last few weeks, but nothing concrete. Now, this week I was sent a link to a social media page. Now, forgive me, I try and be across email and three social media accounts, Facebook and Twitter X and Instagram as well, but... I'm so sorry, I've actually lost who it was that sent me the link to this mention on a group called Memories of Redhill Reigate.

So they said back in 2021 with a picture, this is the pool at Pool House. Babs says, I swam there in the late 1940s, but it was never very popular because there wasn't much sun and the leaves from the trees used to fall in the water. That doesn't sound much fun, does it? I don't know when it was built, but it must have been after Bancroft Road was built in the mid-1930s.
