    Default Margate Lido,

    I noticed that there is only one other report on this place, so i thought id post some pics form myself and wolfs visit early last year, finding the place wasnt too much of an issue getting in on the other hand....... oh and Margtate is a shite hole.

    a brief history stolen from underground kent

    "In the 1920's the Lido at Cliftonville was completed to cater for the popularity of sea bathing. The Lido was built on the existing Clifton Baths Estate, beneath which ran many passageways used by smugglers in previous centuries. The underground complex consisted of bars, cafes and an indoor warm sea water pool with nearby changing facilities. The Lido was hugely popular from it's construction right through to the 1960's. A winter storm in January 1978 which destroyed Margate Pier also wreaked havoc with the Lido, particularly the outdoor pool. Reconstruction work was never even considered, and even today the Lido faces almost certain demolition."

    and on with the show.
















    intersting solution to the water leak.













    we did venture up stairs and found ourselves in a very much still active bar

    Good stuff there!
    The only thing to do with good advice is pass it on. It is never any use to oneself.
