Black & white memories from Grange Lido 🤍🖤

We love these early photos of our lido, taken in the 1930s - a time when black & white photography was much more commonplace! As the years went on colour photographs became the norm. Both captured scenes of visitors enjoying our lido beautifully.

Crossing Morecambe Bay, 1950s style! 🌊🏊

In the 1950s, swimming across Morecambe Bay was a popular - if very challenging - pursuit! Nowadays you can still get across the bay, but on foot with a guided Cross Bay Walk.

One thing hasn't changed: getting across the bay safely, with its changing currents and conditions, still depends on the expert guidance of local fishermen. Today, that's thanks to Michael Wilson of the Guide over Sands Trust 👏

He'll be leading our annual Cross Bay Walk, which takes place this July. If you'd like to join us, you can book your space here: www.savegrangelido.co.uk/cross-bay-walk/

Wakes Weeks in Grange over Sands 🏊☀

The arrival of the railway transformed Grange over Sands into a much loved seaside destination, and with the opening of Grange Lido in 1932, visitors had even more reason to flock to our coast.

⭐ Wakes Weeks began in the Middle Ages, later becoming an important annual holiday for working class communities as travel became more accessible.

⭐ As the industrial age changed everyday life, more people were able to enjoy time away for leisure and recreation.

⭐ During Wakes Weeks, mill towns across Lancashire would empty as families headed to the seaside for a well earned break, and Grange over Sands became a favourite destination for many.

🏊 Grange Lido played a huge role in many people's holidays from the moment it opened in 1932, creating memories for generations of visitors and locals alike. We believe it can do so again.

A sunny day at our lido would be just the thing with a heatwave on the cards! ☀

On warm weekends like the one we have forecast, in its heyday Grange lido would have been bustling with visitors enjoying a refreshing dip.

Here are a few photos of people enjoying just that, from across the 1900s.

"The friendliest swimming pool in the north-west" 🏊

We couldn't agree more with this statement, written about our lido in a 1966 guide book to Grange over Sands - at a time when it was enjoyed by visitors and locals alike!
