Description

Photograph of people swimming in Manchester Swimming Pool, ca.1930. The swimming pool is dotted with people of various ages, some lining the concrete poolside at right and a few at left. Two wooden lifeguard towers sit opposite each other on separate sides, both occupied by people under umbrellas. To the right of the pool stands a structure with the words "Manchester Swimming Pool" on it. The structure forms an "L" shape with the pool and continues along two sides of it. The background is neutral.
