fond memories

About ten days ago I had a phone call from S4C from a presenter who asked me could i provide JPEG Images of the photos that i've added to the http://www.hendypoolandbothsides.org.uk web site and could i provide some names of some welsh speaking people who would like to share some of their fond memories with a tv aduience as the they would like to make a short film about the loss of the hendy pool battle

 

by friday of last week there were lots of locals ready to share their stories and the S4C film crew spent all day from 10am until 4.30pm interviewing people and filming stories about the pool and the tv programme went out on air Monday night just gone at 7pm on the programme Wedi7

 

s4c have kindly put it onto their web site for those that didn't see it but its only on there till next week, as next weeks shows will superceed this weeks and there's only a weeks history on the web site at any one time

I wrote about it on my face book page and on the pooling resources web forum a site where lido campaigners share stories and news about campaigns and grants that might be available below is my entry

 

http://www.s4c.co.uk/clic/e_level2.shtml?programme_id=341970797

if you missed it the fond memories are on line on s4c for 4 days

its in welsh but theres lots of old photos and pictures on there

its starts at about 3.50 minutes through the show and is 6 minutes
long a brief summary i can't speak welsh but if you read the comments
it might help

it talks about the tin works polluting the river and the boys
swimming in the llwchwr and gwili, being yellow an mathew jones
cutting himself and dying of blood poisoning as a result

talks about robert crofts relations and other relations working to
dig out the pool for 5 woodbine for men or chocolate for the non
smokers/women

talked about 1/2 crown for season ticket and all the areas that
attracted top swimmers from all the area around and now the grand
children of the speaker has to travel out of hendy today to those
areas. talked about the height of the diving board and how cold it
was in the pool some times in their wooly swim wear

talked about the smart women and how the women use to kick the boys
when they caught them peeping under the gap of the cubicles and it
says about the young eels that also got in from the river

and then they talk about the legacy and how it saddens them that a
piece of the village history is to lost

i taped it onto video and managed to save the txt sub titles
