A photograph of a long lost paddling pool has sparked wonderful nostalgic memories from those who remember using it as kids.
The photograph shows families with young children cooling off in the old paddling pool in Heaton Park on what looks to be a bright, summer's day. Located next to the main playground, the pool was a popular attraction for children who would spend hours playing in the shallow water.
Sadly, by the late 1990s, the pool was in a poor state and was eventually filled in by the council. Despite it's poor condition in its later years, many people still have fond memories of the paddling pool from their own childhoods.
