Lickszz Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Hi there. Welcome to the board. I have seen the memorial which you refer to and am sure I have read something engraved on it. However, this was many years ago and I can't recall what it said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cycleracer Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 I believe it is a memorial to Mary Booth who was murdered there last century by her lover. She is still burried in the park but not were that headstone lies. Her ghost can be seen in the park around midnight with her lover on a white horse on Valentines day.

bonnieclyde Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 I used to go to Longley pool in the fifty's when it was always clean and packed with teenages. Great fun, and afterwards sit with crowd of other teenagers at the very top off the hill overlooking the pool near to what was called lovers lane. I wonder if any other Forum readers remember the early days there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little malc Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 I used to go to the pool in the 60's, living in Crowland RD, it was our local spot, allways packed in summer if we got a warm spell. We spent many happy hours also flying model aircraft in the park. It's so sad to see Longley park now so run down, and just used as a giant "doggy toilet".

chezlyn Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 We swam there a couple of times in the summer, late 70's-early 80's. It was always freezing cold water and full of stupid lads showing off. My sis got thrown in at the deep end, then was ducked under for so long I was scared she'd drown. No-one knew whether she could swim or not, good job she could. The safety measures didn't seem to exist then. We were a bit scared after that and stopped going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
