This week's nostalgia in the Wilts and Glos Standard by Robert Heaven.
Appearing with me on Cirencester radio this week was the Historian for the Cirencester Open pool Valerie Wheeler.
Valerie reminded me that once upon a time the pool was the venue for waterpolo; a sport which seems to have died out but at one time it was hugely popular in the town.
