Does anyone remember Woolston Lido in the 1950's 1960's?
If you do I would love to receive any pictures you might have of it .
I remember the Morris Dancers who used to practice there and I also remember a Caravan Park at the rear of the Lido.
Hope someone can help.

Hi Andy I had given up all hope of hearing anything about the Lido. It would be great if your parents did have something. If they do I will be willing to pay the costs of copying any photo's they may find. Regards Sandra

I grew up at the Lido. The freezing cold water, the terrifying high board, the cold concrete changing rooms, the frogs and leaf infested pool and the one penny jam butties from the back window of the restaraunt, will live forever in my memory.

My mum and used to take me to the Lido in 1936/39 in those day's in was one of the in places to be seen in Warrington, with a bar and cafe parents could have a drink, sunbath or swim while keeping a eye on the kid's, at that time Peter Kane the featherweight Champion of the world frequented the place which gave it a certain excitement
