Brockwell Park and Kennington Park Lidos
From 1st April, 1971 the above lidos were no longer the responsibility of
the G.L.C. Thus samples were taken only during the first three months when
the condition of both baths was found to be satisfactory.
Shirley Oaks Children's Home
All samples were satisfactory.
