Plymouth Hoe

There was a third stage and then a fourth stage resulting in the semi circular pool erected by 1932.
The final opening was performed by Alderman R.R. Oke, and much festivity went into progress including all the swimming clubs from around.
Floodlit bathing was soon introduced following this opening. Later the semi circle was enlarged to 180 feet in 1935, and necessitated a further opening!
It became home to the local swimming clubs including the Tinside Club
OUTCOME: Fell into disuse in 1980. It became a Grade II listed building in 1998 and officially
re-opened in 2003 . NOT a “Lost Lido”

High terraces, natural pools into the rocks, cascades, and eventually a diving stage.
New bathing houses were erected in 1913 and were formally opened by the Mayor of Plymouth Mr J.W.S. Godding J.P. on the 16th August.
A later stage of higher terraces, bathing houses a bridge and new dressing rooms were developed by 1930

The rock pools/grottos around, continues to provide a fun haven for the hardy when the weather is cool and a sun-trap when not.
