The original 80-yard pool was built in 1908 when part of the River Yare was sealed off. By the 1920s, swimming galas were held there, which attracted swimmers from across the region.
Rebuilt a few years after WWII.
By the end of the 1992 season, after 12 sun-soaked weeks, the pool welcomed its last visitors: the necessary improvements to keep the Lido safe would have cost £100,000 and, with no funds forthcoming, the pool closed.
