These great pictures remember the Lido Pool in Lytham Road.

The building also housed a ballroom on the first floor. The photos are from the 1980s and 1990s - an era which so many of you will relate to. Sadly it eventually shut and was bulldozed in the mid noughties, replaced by the Enterprise Centre in 2007.

In case you missed them: 25 pictures to take you back to Blackpool in 1991 including the Fun House fire at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, IRA firebomb attacks and Paul Gascoigne at Blackpool FC
