The lido – outdoor pool and paddling areas – was constructed on the former tennis courts by female volunteers in 1963 and opened a year later.
It featured various pools catering to different swimming abilities, including a diving pool and a smaller one for younger children.
The facility was very popular until it closed in August 1984.
Entrance was subsidized by Clipstone Colliery Miners’ Welfare and included amenities such as a hothouse, café, changing rooms, and a first aid room.
