Mentioned last week, didn't I, about the swimming pool that I thought was opposite the town hall in Reigate, because we were talking about Bancroft Road and Pool House there, and I was saying... It's funny that there were two swimming pools, to my knowledge, in Reigate, just a couple of hundred yards away from each other. No more information has come in about Paul House.

And yet I was expecting Spencer from WS Architecture and Planning to let me know a little bit about that. Because he actually works there in Paul House on Bancroft Road. To be quite honest, if he's working on Bancroft Road, he's probably had other issues to deal with this week regarding all the problems there with the road closure. But anyway, Stuart got in touch with me. He said,

He said, I learned to swim there in the 1970s before it was knocked down and replaced by Donnings. I remember it being freezing. An office block now stands where it was. Yeah, absolutely. I can picture that. Not the original, of course. It's a little bit before my time. Not much, but a little bit. And, of course, we look back at why Donnings was called Donnings.

in a previous episode of the Planet Rygate podcast. So search for that in your favourite podcast app. And if you can't find it and you're intrigued to know why Donnings is called Donnings, drop me a line and I'll let you know the details of what episode that was in. And a couple of weeks ago, episode 44, in fact, I spoke about the campaign to keep open the station pub in Nutfield.

Well, that prompted a lot of memories from people across the area. Julie said, fond memories of this place as a child and adult. I lived in Nutfield and spent many a night in there. Roy said, shame, enjoyed a few beers and some nice meals there over the decades. Ted, does anyone remember Jerry Gowling, who kept a pig in the garden of the station pub in Nutfield? And Jason replied, pig?

It was a Gloucester old spot called Bertie. after an inspector at Reigate that Gerry had a run-in with. Which sounds interesting. I don't know a bit more about what happened there. Karen said, I met Phil Collins in the station pub. Sue said, yeah, I remember the night Phil Collins was in there, and he broke the big bottle of coins for charity. He was very friendly and chatty with us locals.

Alan said, Paul Heaton played an early gig there with his band, Tools Down. Paul Heaton. Beautiful South, I'm thinking. And John said, I was a regular there before I was even old enough to drink beer. The dartboard was always in play. John, tusk, tusk, but we all did it, didn't we? My place where I kind of broke the law, should I be saying there? Yeah, I reckon.

was up at Walton-on-the-Hill, so not a million miles away, and the Checkers pub, and I want to say... I want to say the George... In Walton-on-the-Hill? Is that right, the George? But certainly the Chequers, yeah. So I was a little bit younger than my friends, who were also in the same year group, because I was born in August. The 16th. I know. It's just a couple of weeks away. I know.
