Lost open air swimming pool would have been 'sheer bliss' during heatwave

People have been remembering a lost open air swimming pool that would have been the perfect place to cool off during the recent heatwave.

Earlier this week, a photograph was shared online of the once popular Rivacre open air pool in Ellesmere Port. The photo shared on Facebook by Cheshire Live attracted hundreds of comments.

According to the People's Pool website, Rivacre baths opened after seven people drowned while swimming in a nearby canal. This prompted the building of the baths on the outskirts of town, which opened on August 1, 1934.
