Rock pool readied for another year

Newcastle’s famous rock pool is being prepared for another year of family fun. The workmen and diggers have moved in to dredge out the silt, sediment and sludge which has gathered in the sea-water pool since last summer.

The pool, which has been operating every summer since 1933, will be open again this July and August for swimming and life-saving lessons and should, by then, look a little more at its best.
