The Cardinal's Baths, Manly

Main

AuthorJohn MorcombeDateJuly 2023DescriptionWhile mixed bathing had gained increasing acceptance and growing popularity among the wider community by the 1920s, such acceptance wasn't to be found among the Catholic college community. Students from St Patrick's seminary, Manly, were thus unable to use the public baths and so the college erected their own baths at the foot of the Archbishop's grounds at Spring Cove, Manly. These were used until a new concrete pool was built in 1957.SubjectsSwimming pools - New South Wales - ManlySwimmingBaths and PoolsSt Patrick's College (Manly, N.S.W.)KeywordsCardinalCopyrightThis item may be used freely for research and study purposes, for all other uses contact Northern Beaches Council Library Local Studies.
