Reading Lido: Edwardian pool reopens after 43 years

An open air swimming pool left unused for 43 years has reopened after a four-year restoration.

Reading Lido is believed to be the oldest surviving outdoor municipal pool of the Edwardian era, but it was closed to the public in 1974.

But after being granted Grade II listed status in 2004, a company was allowed to renovate the pool.
