UK's oldest lido reopening
The UK's oldest lido, which has been closed for almost 40 years, has been restored to its former glory.
The restoration has been led by project director Anna Baker, a chartered architect who specialises in historic buildings. The pools closed in 1984 and faced the threat of demolition in 2003, but thousands of residents campaigned with the trust to save it and restoration began in May 2021. The building work was logistically challenging as most materials could only be brought to the site via the river.Beard's Mark Tregelles said: "Having access only by river has really tested our initiative, not only getting materials in and out of the project but also in the method of construction, given the limited plant and equipment that we could get to the site.
