North Beach Bathers Pavilion
Celebration
North Beach Bathers Pavilion – We Want
Your Photos
Have you any photos of the North Beach Bathers Pavilion’s opening
in 1938? If you do, Council wants to hear from you.
We’re planning a special community celebration on Sunday
30 September to mark the reopening of the North Beach Bathers
Pavilion. And to help make the festivities even more special, we’re
calling upon the community to fi ll a gap in our archives. We’re asking
people to dig out the family albums and see if there are any
old photographs of the Pavilion from its opening celebrations on
12 November 1938. We’re also keen to hear from anyone who is
related to the Councillors who opened the building back in 1938.
If anyone has any photographs, or are descendants of the 1938
Councillors, Council’s Customer Service team would love to hear
from you. Photographs can either be donated to Wollongong
Central Library’s Local Studies section, or electronically scanned
and returned to their owners.
From the collections of Wollongong City Library and the Illawarra
Historical Society.
