To celebrate the 85th Anniversary of the opening of the pool (30 April 1938) and the 20th year of the Broomhill Pool Trust (est. 3 Sept 2003), we have arranged a new print run of Broomhill Pool’s 1938 Souvenir Opening Programme (reproduction).
The Trust has faithfully reproduced the original 1938 “opening Programme”. A 32-page document full of civic pride, heritage, and nostalgia; featuring the opening words from County-Borough of Ipswich, Mayor Underwood. Plus, Broom Hill Pool & Pipers Vale Pool specifications, original photos, opening gala Ipswich V Leamington; list of contractors; and original 1938 adverts for the contractors and suppliers.
Not only is the re-printed programme a fitting tribute to the pool’s 85th anniversary, but also a timely reminder to Councillors, Funders & Stakeholders (IBC, NLHF and Fusion Lifestyle) and the Ipswich public what an outstanding asset the pool was and will be again.
The Trust reproduction will sell for £5.00 and will be available at Broomhill Library and Castle Hill Community Centre.
Or £7.50 incl. P&P within UK mainland.
