Cliftonville Lido, Margate

Cliftonville Lido in Margate was built in the 1920s by the remarkable John Henry Iles, who also developed the nearby Dreamland on Margate Seafront. Once a popular bathing area, it has fallen to ruin since its closure on the 80s. The Beacon has been maintained and is still a notable landmark.

I visited Margate in November, on a Monday. Margate was closed. It made no difference to the Lido beacon. It was as indifferent to me as it has been to time for the last 9o-odd years.
