Jeremy will provide a general introduction to the history of open-air-pools and lidos in Britain including the open-air pool in Cirencester. Cirencester’s natural spring fed pool was originally opened in 1869, and then taken over by the local council in 1908. Cirencester’s pool along with others provided novel experimental landscapes that blossomed after the First World War.
