Greenbank Swimming Pool, Street

The heated pool is open from May to September, all day at weekends and during the school vacations, plus afternoons in term-time. The pool was a gift to the people of Street from Alice Clark in 1937. The town's prosperity was from the Clark family firm of shoemakers and the present-day headquarters of Clarks is still based in Street, nearby

My comment:
Bob: Off to Street now to our second lido run by the Greenbank Trust. Found the pool very close to Shopping Village. No time for shopping today. Dave explained our mission and the friendly lifeguard lets us in for free and popped a pound in our collecting box. People are so kind. Water temperature was 30 degrees C and we believed them, just like a hot bath! Again, a super swim but dodging around the many mums, dads and children bobbing up and down in the pool. At least it slowed Dave down a little and allowed me to keep up better! Met a guy in the changing room after who promptly gave us his spare coins.
