Over the centuries Vyborg had
needed a huge number of tiles for fortifications under and on the ground. The clay
excavations were known as the pools of Rosuvoi, but each one of them also had a name of
its own: the Bright Pool, the Spring Pool, the Crosshill Pool, the Sauna Pool, the Clay
Pool, the Swimming Pool... some of them were used for swimming, while others were used for
angling for crucians carps, and some were well liked by duck. In the autumn children would
splash in the culps, and in the winter they would skate. By the Winter War most of these
pools had been filled and levelled. |
