History
The lido was officially opened on 2 October 1935.
A victim of declining popularity and neglect, the lido closed in 1992 but a vociferous local campaign led to a renovation, at a cost of £3.4 million, and Grade II Listed Building status in 1998. The facility re-opened to the public in 2005.
A lift and hoist were added in 2009 for disabled access.
Description
The lido design is a semicircle of 180 feet (55 metres) diameter. There is a large central fountain and two smaller side fountains. The Lido is not heated.
Sun loungers and deckchairs are available for hire.
