EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in the history of Hastings and St Leonard. The image showcases the renowned Hastings and St Leonard Bathing Pool, hailed as the finest in all of Europe. Opening its doors on Whit-Saturday for its first season since before the war, this grand establishment promised an unforgettable experience to all who visited. In this particular snapshot, we see the radiant beauty queen of Hastings and St Leonards, Miss Moira Knight. At just 17 years old, she represents both local pride and youthful elegance. Adorned in her stylish bathing suit, Miss Knight exudes confidence as she poses for the camera after her triumphant participation at the opening ceremony. The year is 1947 - a time when monochrome photography was still prevalent. This picture perfectly encapsulates that era with its timeless charm and nostalgic appeal. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era filled with grace and glamour. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk, this historical gem allows us to relive an important chapter in European leisure culture. It transports us back to a time when swimming pools were not merely places for recreation but also symbols of opulence and sophistication. Let this print transport you to an age where beauty queens reigned supreme amidst architectural marvels like the Hastings Bathing Pool - truly an emblematic piece from twentieth-century history.
