Hello Ivan Yes it was Ken born 1932. As for the swimming pool you have the wrong one. I am referring to the swimming pool at the De Beers Housing Village, Kenilworth. The time period was 1952. The Kenilworth Village was eventually donated to the Mental Health Society for accommodation of those suffering mental disorders. Your wikimap view is of the Karin Muir Bath which was built in the early '60's. Over the road was the St Patricks Boys Scouts. St Georges was situated IN THE Milner Street /Carrington Road Area. In the 1990's St Patricks folded and St Georges took over their Building and I understand is flourishing at the moment. It is more than 10 years since I left Kimberley and they have certainly filled up De Beers Mine.
