Description
Saltdean Lido Community Interest Company reopened the main pool in 2017 to great acclaim. Now, the formerly dilapidated Grade II* building has been restored and refurbished so that the Lido complex functions as a whole again.
The restored site includes a poolside café, library, Art Deco ballroom, gym, co-working facilities, community rooms and heritage and learning space, telling the story of Saltdean Lido’s unique social history and celebrating its role in the golden age of the lido movement.
MDA monitored this challenging restoration of a historically significant, reinforced concrete structure on behalf of the National Lottery Heritage Fund, offering support and advice, as required, to the Grantee.
