A Great Plaice for Fishing - St Annes on Sea, Lancashire
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from 1980, we are transported back in time to witness a unique solution to a problem faced by the open-air swimming pool in St Annes on Sea. As the new season approached, the pool was plagued with unsightly algae and dirt that needed urgent attention. Enter an ingenious idea that would not only solve the issue but also provide some entertainment for locals. The brainwave came in the form of filling the large pool with sea water fish known for their appetite for algae. As these diligent swimmers went about their task of cleaning up, anticipation grew among residents and fishermen alike. Finally, when the pool was nearly pristine again, an invitation was extended to local anglers to empty it using their trusty fishing rods. Captured within this snapshot is Mr George Fitzsimmons, manager of the baths at St Annes on Sea, enjoying a leisurely lunchtime fishing session amidst this extraordinary event. Dressed in waders and sporting a baseball cap, he epitomizes both dedication to his job and enthusiasm for this pastime sport. This image not only showcases an innovative solution but also reflects the humor and hobbies prevalent during that era. It transports us back to simpler times when community spirit thrived and creative thinking prevailed over challenges faced by public spaces like swimming pools. As we admire this nostalgic scene frozen in time through Memory Lane Prints' lens, we can't help but appreciate how
