As the community peel off their coats, prepare to turn off their heating and dust off their sunglasses, Enjoy Beccles revisited the history of the town's swimming pool.

Last year, nearly 50,00 people splashed into the lido during the sizzling summer heat wave last year, an incredible comeback for the lido – which 10 years ago was closed by the council.
