Black Rock Swimming Pool
By Sue Craig
The Black Rock swimming pool, which opened on 8 August 1936, was built on the site of the terrace garden and required the shortening of Magnus Volk's railway a little. The pool measured 165 feet by 60 feet. The pool, café and changing rooms, along with a separate children's pool, were demolished in 1978.
The original walls of the pool have been regularly adorned by internationally renowned graffiti artists for a number of years. The site is still empty and appears to be in the process of transformation once again.
