  • The rectangular block you see on the map, once housed the whale paddling pool. The pool was shallow and shaped like a kidney, but the main attraction was the whale in the centre constructed out of bricks. The pool as well as the greenhouse, aviary and the old concrete play area is confined to the annals of nostalgic history. I have heard tales of boating on the river, but this was before my time in the eighties.
