Filtration plants have been installed at the Woolwich and Plumstead Baths,
and the chemical and bacteriological content of the water is regularly examined
by members of the Baths Staff. There are two open-air swimming pools in the
Borough, one in Eltham Park and one in the Victoria Gardens, North Woolwich.
These belong to the London County Council, and filtration plants have been
installed at both. There are also paddling pools in the Borough, one belonging
to the Woolwich Borough Council on their Middle Park Estate, and one in Eaglesfield,
belonging to the London County Council. There are no filtration plants at
either of these.
