Out of the Blue celebrates the changing fortunes of the Lido over its lifetime and the determined but successful struggles to prevent its demolition. There are evocative photographs from every decade and memories of more than 70 users and observers. Local historian Peter Bradley has led in depth research together with a team from BLU to produce this comprehensive historical account of one of south London’s big success stories.
Through over 70 interviews with local people, archival research and photographs Out of the Blue tells the story of how the Lido came to be built and of the 70 eventful years which followed. It was written by Peter Bradley working with a team of 10 BLU members who helped with interviews. The project was funded by Awards for All.
