It's 50 years this month since Chesterfield's much-loved Queen's Park swimming baths were officially opened

The opening ceremony took place on July 19, 1969, and included demonstrations of life-saving and synchronised swimming - as well as what is described in the programme as a 'comedy event' by British Railways Swimming Club! For more pictures from yesteryear, check out our retro section.
