Brasted Concert Programme
This was one of several events held to raise money towards the construction of Brasted open-air bathing pool on the site where Brasted recreational ground now stands. The pool was sited where the children’s playground sits now, and was fed by an underground stream with an overflow into the river Darent just north of the pool.
There was a grand Opening Ceremony on June 24 1914, the construction having been paid for by local subscription and fundraising events such as this and other concerts and a dance festival.
The President of the organisation was Earl Stanhope, and a Management Committee comprised: Mr J S Marriott, Chairman, Mr Owen Fleming, Hon.Architect, Mr Scott Arnott, Hon.Solicitor, and Committee members Raymond Bush, Sydney Butterfield, Howard Russell, Edwin Dowsing and Brasted School Headmaster Thomas Hubble.
There was a resident Swimming Instructor – Mr G. Robinson, late Royal Marines Light Infantry.
