The Saltdean Lido

[Herr Tubthumper]

Spent most of my childhood down there ( lived in Chichester drive west )........oh the memories!
First time day after we moved to Saltdean , grey cold but manage to get my mum to take us.
Then the 5p after 4pm days........run home from school......kitchen table my trunks rolled up in a towel with 5p on top !
As we got older the game of bunking in over the fence when the life guards weren't looking ...........throw ya towel down and lie there for 10 minutes like you had been there all day .

And lastly the rubbish clear up at the end of the day......life guards job but they would pick kids like a school footie team , give you a bin and reward us with free crisps !!!

Thought about going to the opening day but would have blubbered like the kid from all those years ago at the memories......

Spent a lot of my younger days there as well. Have they still got the ship with rope rigging climbing frame ?

£20 for two adult two children family is pretty good compared to most other family outings. Try going to the cinema for less than that.

Seven years to get it going again, and some little thugs break in and try to destroy it. Fortunately, they've been arrested.

This is such a shame.

It's got overtones of the Adur Ferry bridge.

It would be nice to read that the kids parents paid for the damage.
