This print takes us back to the summer of 1936, capturing a momentous event in Bexley Heath, Kent. The grand opening of the Bexley Heath Swimming Baths is frozen in time, allowing us to witness the excitement and anticipation that filled the air on that day. The image showcases a group of divers poised on a diving board, ready to take their daring plunge into the crystal-clear water below. Their synchronized movements demonstrate both skill and grace as they prepare for their descent. The springboard stands tall against the backdrop of an open-air pool surrounded by eager spectators eagerly awaiting their turn for a refreshing swim. As we gaze at this snapshot from history, we can't help but be transported to an era between two world wars when leisure activities like swimming became increasingly popular. This photograph serves as a reminder of how sport provided solace during challenging times. With its timeless appeal, this print captures not only a significant architectural achievement but also represents an important cultural milestone. It invites us to reflect upon our own memories and experiences while appreciating those who came before us.
