SOMERSET POOL, A Day in the Life of

The Somerset Street Pool Project “A day in the Life of Somerset Street Pool” began when a local photographer Jeff Atkinson approached the Town as he was interested in producing a photographic documentary of Somerset Street Swimming Pool.  He believed it to be a place filled with interesting people, culture, identities and diversity.  It was felt that the Library and Pool Staff could work together on the project.

The project was to be representative of a day in the life of the Pool.  Photographs were taken at various times of the day/night/week over the summer months of the 1999/2000 season to capture people at play, leisure and training.  Jeff was given a list of special activities/programmes and times when specific groups like the swimming club were at the Pool.  The end result is that the concept of a “day in the life of the pool” has been achieved with a large number and variety of photographs taken.

To complete this project, interviews were conducted with several customers of Somerset Street Pool who use the centre on a regular basis and have done so for a number of years.  It was felt that the people chosen would be able to provide some anecdotal and  interesting information on the history, culture and identities of Somerset Street Swimming Pool from the point of view of a customer.  Some long serving and past staff were also interviewed as part of the process to provide further insights, and to particularly highlight some of the changes they had witnessed over the years at Somerset. 

Those interviewed as part of the project, in the order they appear in the collated transcripts for the project are:

• Reg DAWSON
• Rod HOUNSLOW
• Dianne TWEEDIE
• Bob GOVAN
• Terry DIBB
• Keith ELLIS
• May TROMP
• Graeme SMITH
• Cecilia ASHCROFT
