"Swimming baths were located on the site of the former Priory mill buildings (now Sensory Garden area). The swimming baths referred to locally as the ‘Canch Lido’ was officially opened on 9th June 1910. In 1995 the lido was filled in and replaced with a sensory garden. "
After the Canch 'Lido' was filled, the next opportunity for a new pool arose. That being said, it wasn't a pool; It was more of a paddling area located in the centre of the park by the main road. It wasn't pleasant - cold, full of plasters and moss and over-run by manton chavs. Now it's a splash pool - which I don't think get's much use at all.
