School For Evacuees- Everyday Life at Marchant's Hill Camp School, Hindhead, Surrey, England, UK, 1944 A girl prepares to dive into the swimming pool at Marchant's Hill School, Hindhead, as a boy sit in the sunshine to sketch her from the side of the pool. The original caption states that this pool was actually built as a static water tank, required by law as a defence against incendiary attacks. The headmaster, Mr William Skipsey, asked the National Fire Service for it to be built with a sloping bottom so that it could also be used as a swimming pool.
