Following on from last Friday’s photo of West Kirby in the 1960′s here’s another one from Robin. This one features his sailing boat Daring and it’s in the Marine Lake. What can you tell me about the buildings that you can see in the background?

I remember this area very well in the 1940s. The building behind the boat was the changing rooms etc for the swimming baths, which was just sectioned off from the lake by ropes. The building to the right of the picture was the Hydro Hotel, quite up market in those days
I can remember going for a swim in those baths in about 1954/5 and it was flaming cold and we had to contest with jelly fish that had come over the sea wall.
