EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Plymouth Tinside Lido in the 1930s. This photograph, taken around 1935, showcases the bustling scene at the Lido, a beloved landmark of Plymouth, Devon. The classic art deco architecture of the Lido is a stunning backdrop to the crowds of bathers, who have gathered to enjoy a day of swimming, bathing, and diving. The Lido, which opened in 1935, was a popular destination for locals and visitors alike. With its distinctive design and modern facilities, it offered a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The large, heated outdoor pool was a welcome respite during the summer months, and the steps leading into the water were a hub of activity as people of all ages and abilities took the plunge. The photograph captures the joy and excitement of the moment, as families and friends laugh and play in the water. Children splash and swim, while adults lounge on the steps, soaking up the sun. Divers take the plunge from the high board, their shadows stretching out long and bold against the water. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Lido, which continues to be a cherished part of Plymouth's cultural heritage. Today, the Lido remains a popular destination for swimming, sunbathing, and relaxing, offering visitors a glimpse into the past while providing modern amenities and a welcoming atmosphere.
