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.
