Just come across this in my Dad’s autograph book.
I remember going there in the late 50’s, I didn’t remember it being quite that nice.
Hi Richard,
Thank you Derek! I do remember that the shallow end was like the sea shore getting deeper as you went further in. As a teenager I though it was a waste of good space, little did I realize
Exactly, so many people and many children.
One happy note is that Lido park was planted as an arboretum, so there are many unusual trees there.
Droitwich canal was restored in 2011 and is now navigable from the junction of Worcester and Birmingham canal at Hanbury.
Your memories are appreciated. I didn't move to the area until about 27 years ago from Birmingham. The lido is open for cold water swimming, but you have to book two days in advance. I think this is to manage the crowds on hot days. I'm a child of the mid-50s so it is interesting to see how places change. At least Droitwich isn't a lost lido.
My dad told me of a swimming pool by the Hawthorn Brook near Dovedale Road that he swam in in the late 30’s.
