Droitwich Spa Lido

It is one of the few remaining inland, open-air salt-water swimming pools in the UK.

The Lido was originally built in the 1930s to a design by Edward Prentice Mawson and the building features an art-deco style interior.

When the lido opened, it was marketed as the 'seaside come to Droitwich Spa', and the pool was heated to exactly the same temperature as the Mediterranean Sea.

Even after its closure at the end of the 1990s, people still travelled for miles just to see the once-popular pool.

Called "Save a Lido Today" (SALT), the group put pressure on the various councils and even went so far as to provide a business plan.
