AT THE BATHS

Rhyl likes things to do. Enthusiastic feedback about activities such as roller skating and swimming is evidence of this.

The Open Air Bathing Pool ('the baths') operated from the 1930s to the 1970s; the advert above is from an official tourist guide 1948. The picture is from Rhyl History Club Community Archive and shows Rhyl Amateur Swimming Club at the baths in 1967.

Standing at the back (left to right) : Jim Smith, Don't know, Al Mutch, Billy Moffatt, Don't know. Sitting in front (left to right): Paula Smith, Don't know, Margaret Stewart, Maurice Cotterill and Don't know.
