Recently re-opened after years of neglect, the Art Deco Tinside Pool is a landmark of seaside architecture. Once a popular venue for beauty competitions, people also used it for washing in during World War II.
First opened in 1935 and described at that time as 'one of the finest open-sea bathing centres in the country', Plymouth's Tinside Lido must have been a stunning sight in all its glory. It was built in the fashionable Art Deco style with a classically proportioned semi-circular pool.
