Southampton’s community is large-families with children would enjoy such water opportunities as the Common provides. Clean water, good facilities. But not available easily to many youngsters. Memory stirs-remember the predecessor to the present pool was the ‘Cowherds’ lake-very deep in the centre-enventually infilled with material from the new Civic Centre site. Then a paddling pool-before the present pool. The pool at the Sports’ Centre no longer used. The former ‘Lido’ with its chutes & space for children. Weston Shore with its mud. In this 21st Century we need a new type of water space for children-protected from the elements but near where they live across our City.
