Tollesbury - digging the Marine Lake (Swimming Pool), early 1907. Much of the labour for this 'village project' may well have been voluntary. Many thousands of barrows of soil must have been removed before the opening of the lake (approx 200 x 100 feet) later in the year. Caption from Tollesbury Past, plate 18.
