Current condition

Demolished / No longer exists

Date completed

1 Jan 1940

(Day & Month are approximate.)

The position is approximate, based on a 1980 map. If I've got it right, the Marriott Hotel's pool is on about the same spot today.

Moddsey found that the pool was built in 1940, see: https://gwulo.com/comment/42618#comment-42618

Any chance of posting that map, it would be interesting to see.

I've posted a copy of the map - it's shown in the photos above.

Thanks for the Places and Photos you've created. Are they places you've lived in, or just places you're interested in?
