Grantham ladies keeping fit

April 13, 2019 by Grantham Matters Leave a Comment

Ladies Keep Fit Class at the demolished Swimmingpool/Leisure Centre, Union Street. Taken in approx 1980, Yes I am in there somewhere 5th on the left. I can remember when this place was first built, most people who worked in Grantham had to contribute to the building of this. I worked at Malimson & Pert (Solicitors) at the time think we had 2/6d a week deducted from our very small earnings, think this was until we had paid, (if I remember rightly) about £2.00.
