inprincegeorge - That's how I was taught to swim too - probably the same teacher.
I never went to dances at the Stamford Hall, but did go to the Locarno, although I always had to leave early as my parents insisted I was on the last bus home from Altrincham to Hale Barns which was 11pm. Often I missed it and used to run along Hale Road to Hale Barns, whilst wearing stiletto heeled shoes hitching a lift from anyone who would stop. I was more frightened of my parents than any driver.

Lizzie,
I agree about the fear of parents' wrath. You remark about stilettos made me think about sitting on the bus going to the Locarno, my friend & I had so many petticoats on, we could hardly fit on the same seat!
When I returned to Altrincham in 1975, it was like going to a different town altogether. The development at the lower end of George Street was a bit of a shock, gone were the Axe and Cleaver, library, Stamford Hall, Swimming Baths, Bus Station, Co-op etc, etc. I was looking at what remains of the Station Buildings the other day, they're looking decidedly worse for wear now. I assume that they're listed, so can't be touched. I wouldn't like to be occupying one of them now. It's such a shame, they would look fantastic renovated.

When my eldest son was a teenager (18-19 not a young teenager), he was going out one night about 10.00pm and my dad told him that when I was his age, at 10.00pm I had to think about getting ready to go home. My son told him that he must have given me an awful time. My dad thought a bit and then agreed with my son that he had been far too strict.
In later life, I realised that the strict one was actually my mum and that she just used my dad to back her up. On his own, he would have been much more lenient with me.
