1. The History
Tinside Pool is a unique 1935 Art Deco lido in the city of Plymouth in south-west England. It is sited beside Plymouth Sound and is overlooked by Plymouth Hoe and Smeaton's Tower. The lido is open in the summer months between May and September. The lido was officially opened on 2nd October 1935. A victim of declining popularity and neglect, the lido closed in 1992 but a vociferous local campaign led to a renovation, at a cost of £3.4 million, and Grade II Listed Building status in 1998. The facility re-opened to the public in 2005. A lift and hoist were added in 2009 for disabled access.

2. The Explore
Well, not really an explore as such. And strictly not really an abandoned place. The 'au naturel' part of the lido to the east of the lido proper has been boarded and only recently has renovation work started on it. The lido itself is closed for 7 or so months a year so out-of-season it does have an abandoned feel to it.
