SWIMMING AND DIVING
NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS VENUE 1949
Scarborough is a seaside resort which fulfils every requirement of the holidaymaker. Natural beauty and entertainment.
Apart from safe sea bathing it offers two truly magnificent pools. Continually filtered, a delight not only for the bathers but the onlookers and sun worshippers.
“Visitors for the National Championships should book their accommodation WITHOUT DELAY!”
Became a water world venue in recent years and now is part of the Sands Project
Now filled in and demolished in readiness for prestigious apartments
South shore Lido during it’s derelict state.( 2000)
Construction began in 1914 with pillars, changing rooms, fountain, tiles and windows being added in 1930. It was very popular for the school swimming galas during the 70’s
The pool finally closed in 1989. It was freezing cold and gave in to the elements. It lay derelict for a number of years. Application for listing was turned down. It has now been filled in and made into a walkway to create a high quality outdoor space for art displays and exhibions
