Tinside Pool

Tinside Pool is a unique 1935 Art Deco lido in the city of Plymouth in south-west England.[1] 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.[2]

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.[1]
