| The Lido in Grange has stood empty since 1993 and has fallen into decline ever since. In 2011, a group of concerned residents formed the ‘Save Grange Lido’ campaign group tosave and restore this iconic building. Detailed plans have recently been finalised, after engaging a specialist architect to draw upa restoration plan, which they intend to present to South Lakeland District Council shortly. Opened in 1932, such structures were a common feature across the country. Grange Lido consisted of a salt water pool with diving board and surrounded by a sun deck, changing rooms and an attendant room. These ambitious plans would enhance Grange as a visitor attraction and,above all, make the residents proud of this iconic structure at the far end of Grange promenade. |
