As a child in the 1960`s and early 1970`s my parents took myself and older brother to Grange many times for holidays at Easter or Christmas. We always stayed at Berners Close Guest House, which with it`s extensive gardens can be seen directly behind the 'Lido'. Now it has been turned into apartments. Very happy memories from a more simple time! Thank you for this video.
I used to love this place. We travelled from Kendal in the 70's. I was born in '64. The Diving boards were so high. No chance health and safety would allow now.
I used to go there with my parents when we were on holiday in the mid 1970's. In the hot summer of 1976 it was amazing, the place was packed & there were queues to get in. Your video brought back happy memories of my childhood but at the same time it's such a shame to see a place once so full of life & people enjoying themselves left to rot away.
Good evening LeighMac. Thank you for taking the time to comment. I've heard that, thankfully, the local council are going to invest some money into renovating this Lido. Fingers crossed.
Loved the lido as a child. I lived at Meathop and used to walk there and learned to swim there. Very sad to see it derelict last time i came to Grange.
Good evening Thomas. Thank you for asking re using the video footage. Feel free to download it and use it as you wish, I hope it assists you with your project. Regards..
@@ThomasEdward Hello Thomas. Just a thought, if your project involves a youtube video, send me a link and I will add it to my video to get you some views. Best Wishes..
Well all u can say is that residents and councils should be totally ashamed of themselves to let this happen!!!!! Do they not realise what a little goldmine they have there.

I remember stopping at Berners close as a child and playing in the lido , wonderful memories. Hope they restore it

Let's just hope they still get the funding to refurbish as planned..

Sad to see the lido looking so sad and neglected

Good news however, apparently the local council are going to restore the site..
We had a caravan in Flookburgh on a sight called the Ponderosa, we went to the lido all the time 1970 to 1974.
Hopefully they will restore it to it's former glory.
@Martin West I'm not to sure about that my friend, there seems a lot of local opposition about demolishing or changing it..
The one they used in "The Bay" I think?
Thanks for taking the time to comment. Not sure about 'The Bay', I'll have to do some research..
@Martin West Thanks Martin..

@@gps-gps Hello 👋 Yes it is for UA-cam video I’ll definitely get link to you when it’s officially uploaded
@@ThomasEdward Thanks. Looking forward to it. In the meantime, stay safe.
Sadly I never got to swim in there.
Never say never Claire. If the local council actually do refurb as planned, there's hope yet. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
@gps 0315 that's true
Seem to remember it being a sandy beach ??
hi i lived in grange in the 60s and 70s spent many a happy time at the pool and there was no sea grass it was all sand and ston all along the prom

And hopefully it will live again. Sadly the covid pandemic might well delay things.
soon much for rising sea levels
