Tinside Pool is a unique 1935 Art Deco lido in the city of Plymouth in south-west England.[1][2] It is sited beside Plymouth Sound and is overlooked by Plymouth Hoe and Smeaton's Tower. The lido is open in the summer months between May and September.[3][4]
History
The lido was officially opened on 2 October 1935.[5]
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.[5] The facility re-opened to the public in 2005.[1][6][7]
A lift and hoist were added in 2009 for disabled access.
Description
The lido design is a semicircle of 180 feet diameter (55 metres).[5] There is a large central fountain and two smaller side fountains. The Lido is not heated.
Sun loungers and deckchairs are available for hire.
