My earliest memory was from here, I remember using the changing room and being in the pool packed with people in the bright sun. I remember people using the diving board too.

I think I was about 4 or 5 at the time (1988-89). The Lido closed around a decade ago and stands with a future as an art gallery.

Maybe it is the green water? It was full of newts too!

I also did a version of pic No.3 in HDR, it worked better giving a little more colour and worked on the clouds a bit...

Maybe you watched too much Scooby Doo as a kid?

That looks like a great little place!

Great shots, I noticed this place when I was up that way on holiday the other week. I had a little peek in and it looked good, it's a shame the buildings are bricked up.

I would have loved to have had a proper crack at it but twelve foot climbs and six year old's don't mix.

I can happily say that the Lido has just gained Grade II Listed status!!

Fuck you Berners Vision Partnership!
