Brightlingsea is the only location in Essex with an open air public swimming pool.
The classic 1930's style lido is celebrating it's 90th anniversary during 2022. The large facility is now run by the community with many volunteers keeping the pools open for the public to enjoy over the summer months.
Mick Barry is a trustee and joined Owen pool side to talk about the success of the lido.
