Following on from the great old 30s photos of the boating lake here’s the lake in vivid technicolour. Kindly sent in by Peter Wilson, this is a view of the lake from the late 50s, early 60s.
Bonus points for those of you who recognise someone.
Brings back happy memories. My grandfather let me go on one of these canoes when I was only 7 or 8 and I had no clue how to paddle it! In the end I had to be rescued and my grandad said I couldn’t “row for toffee” which confused me no end because I didn’t know you COULD get toffee!
great pic look at all the boats in the gulley my brother spent many a happy day on those canoe with his friends. brings back lovely memories thanks for posting
