Ware Lido
Childhood Memories
By S Williams
Along with many other other Ware residents, I leant to swim in the lido's baby pool when I was about 6 years old. We used to go there a lot in the summer and would be there all day eating ice creams from the little kiosk (which is still open). The big pool always had dead wasps in it and the bottom was really rough and you'd cut your feet. I think its been tiled now!
The lido is open for a short time in the summer and the diving boards have long gone. This view dates from the 50s when it was in its heyday.
