School children at an unidentified public swimming pool Brisbane 1913

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    It might seem, at first glance, that pools are essentially little more than a hole in the ground filled with water. In fact, many exhibit distinctive architectural elements associated with our experience of movement, water and light, and Modern stylistic experimentation. They satisfy complex functional and environmental demands like any other type of buildings. And they reveal much about Australia’s culture, such as the gradual relaxation of dress codes and attitudes to women and other ethnicities. Pool building also became a subject of social and political debate. Post-WWII, artificial pools – as opposed to natural lakes, oceans and river-pools – were favoured for safer swimming instruction, and their provision by governments was regarded as a right, not a luxury. Governments at all levels responded by investing modestly. Source: www.australiangeographic.com.au/topics/history-culture/20...

    There is a comment from benstaunton 12 years ago - "This is my great grand father. He was from Kilkenny and came from a family who had several members involved in founding the socialist movement in Ireland. He was a friend and close associate of James Connolly."

    Slum landlords, milk adulterators and food fakers could sleep easy. Irish Independent - Friday 21 February 1913:
    NORTH CITY WARD ELECTION.
    The election for Councillor, In the room of the late Mr. R. J. Union, to represest North City Ward in the Dublin Corporation took place yesterday, the result being declared last night as follows:
    James Gately - 475
    Joe O'Donerty (U.I.L.) - 434
    Thos. J. Lyng (I.L.P.) - 54
    Patrick M'Grene - 47

    There were 11 spoiled votes. Mr. C. S. Campbell acted as Deputy Returning Officer and Mr. Gately, in moving a vote of thanks to him, said a Socialist had been started to split the vote.
    So Mr Lyng was unsuccessful, unless his sole object in standing was to split the vote as Mr Gately suggested.
