My Sunday Photo

Yesterday we took ourselves over to Saltdean Lido for Heritage Day and to take a tour inside the building.  This was the first time in many years that the general public were given access to the grounds and probably the last time before they close for the start of the very exciting major refurbishment.

Saltdean Lido in its heyday

It was a brilliant afternoon, activities for the children, food, live music and even a cheeky Pimms for Mummy!  I can't wait to see the Lido renovations take shape over the next couple of years.  I have so much to write about this glorious building, it is the only grade II listed Lido in the whole country and deserves to be preserved.

    Pimms! Fantastic! I haven't had any yet this year. Here's hoping for a swift refurbishment. Love the sky in your picture - very striking and contrasts well with the colour of the lido buildings.

    Oh, I was looking at the Saltdean Lido images recently, our bus (27) has the last stop in Saltdean and I thought it would be good idea to take a trip there one day. It was lovely meeting you yesterday by the way! It was one of the nicest (and smallest) events for bloggers I had a chance to attend, everyone was so kind...
