Fairlight Rock Pool

Main

AuthorJohn MorcombeDateAugust 2020DescriptionManly Council first began discussing a rock pool at Fairlight in 1919 but by 1922 talk had turned to building a tidal pool instead, urged on by the Manly Citizens Association. The first pool was constructed using large stones loosely piled on top of each other to form a rubble wall.
Work on the new pool began in November 1925. The new pool was finished in October 1926 – almost a year after construction began – and the official opening wasn’t held until April 9, 1927. Since then the pool has been upgraded and enlarged on several occasions.SubjectsRock poolsBaths and PoolsFairlight (N.S.W.)Swimming poolsCopyrightThis item may be used freely for research and study purposes, for all other uses contact Northern Beaches Council Library Local Studies.
