A view c. 1960 of the North Bay Bathing Pool, Peasholm Gap, Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England, UK, with North Bay beyond. The lido was a popular attraction for swimmers at the seaside resort. Previously a boating lake, it was remodelled in 1938, with accommodation for swimmers, sunbathers and seating for spectators. The buildings are in a mediterranean style. It closed in 2007 and was demolished to make way for apartments. This image is from an old black and white negative – a vintage 1950s/60s photograph.
A view c. 1960 of the North Bay Bathing Pool, Peasholm Gap, Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England, UK, with North Bay beyond. The lido was a popular attraction for swimmers at the seaside resort. Previously a boating lake, it was remodelled in 1938, with accommodation for swimmers, sunbathers and seating for spectators. The buildings are in a mediterranean style. The swimming pool was 230 feet long and 60 feet wide. It was filled with sea water that had been filtered, chlorinated and heated. The North Bay Bathing Pool later became Waterscene, which boasting the longest water chute in the world in 1984. Subsequent re-developments (Water Splash World, and then Atlantis) modernised the pool and the new slides and themed areas were a success for a time in attracting holidaymakers. It closed in 2007 and was demolished to make way for apartments. This image is from an old black and white negative – a vintage 1950s/60s photograph.
