Fairy Dell is a seafront paddling pool in Skegness, Lincolnshire, England. The local district council's decision in 2004 to close it over health and safety fears prompted a wave of outrage from people both locally and elsewhere in the country and world, and after a long campaign by the press and town councillors and a public forum, the district council agreed to refurbish and reopen the facility by summer 2006.
Famous quotes containing the word fairy:
“When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies. And now when every new baby is born its first laugh becomes a fairy. So there ought to be one fairy for every boy or girl.”
—J.M. (James Matthew)
