"The Pells outdoor swimming pool in Lewes is the oldest documented freshwater public pool in the country. The pool lies within two previous structures, the oldest being a brick-lined 1860's pool. The land was originally donated to the townspeople in May 1603. The original document (with the James I of England wax seal) is in the vaults of Lewes Town Hall. The pool and land is managed by Lewes Town Council, who hold the site in trust. In 1999 a petition was raised with 4, 000 signatures against proposals for the pool to be closed and a skateboard park built on the site. As a consequence the District Council ran the pool for a further season with the agreement that a community organisation was formed to operate the pool in the long term. Pells Pool Community Association was created as a charity to operate the pool. The Town Council took over from the District Council and contributed £10, 000 per year for three years, later this budget was extended indefinitely.[ The Pells Pool celebrates its 150th Anniversary in 2011. At the start of the 2011 season, Lewes Town Council and the Pells Pool Community Association invested to replace old pipework [9] and put new paving and tiling in place." Wikipedia
