Tinside Lido is situated on the historic Plymouth Hoe in Plymouth, Devon. Built in 1935 this art deco Lido was fully restored in 2003, at the cost of £3.4 million, after some years of neglect had left the grade II listed building more of an eyesore than a landmark. It is an unheated, seawater (treated) swimming pool open to the public for just a few months in the summer season.
When I was a youngster I often swam at this pool either with my family ... ...and have many happy memories. After the refurbishment I swore I would never swim there again, as, in my opinion too much money was spent on a pool that would only be open for a few months of the year when we have a dire shortage of decent indoor swimming pools in Plymouth. The place is really dependent on nice weather to get the crowds in and I’m sure it never makes enough to pay for itself and its upkeep.
So, to my surprise I found myself agreeing ...

Quick review of Tinside Lido Plymouth
you have an aversion to freezing cold salt water then tinside pool is not the place for you.
It was closed for many years because true locals realise just quite how horrible a place this is. ...
