Crossroads Image
This Maltby Crossroads image (Queens corner) is probably more like 1967. In 65 that shop on the right was not built - it was waste ground the people walked over from Barbers Fish n chip shop (which would be behind this new shop extreme right) to the first shop on Grange lane, which would be Marshal's Grocery store (its now a Job Centre I believe) My name is Gary and I lived in Maltby from 1964 until 1979

Lido House, Public Lido Pool, Bawtry Road
In the grounds of lido house there was an the remains of an old lido pool that my grandparents visited when younger. Next to the pool was a garden with an old sandstone fountain. I cannot find anything about an open air public pool existing possibly in the 1930s in Bramley. Can anyone help?

Maltby Baths
We used to go to the baths from Thurcroft School. A great bus ride and then the pool. It seemed that it was always cold or rainy. I always had 4 pence and bought beef and onion crisps.

Maltby Lido
I remember the Open Air Lido very well. It was managed by Sid and Minnie Armstrong. They looked after their customers well and once they got to know you they let you stay over your time and sometimes never charged you for the basket which you put your clothes in. It was a good and cheap source of entertainment plus all your mates came also, they were happy days.

Maltby Lido
My memories are the happy times I spent as a child at the lido.  We had little money, just a bottle of water and dry bread and jam on a Sunday morning and fun in the Lido.  I well remember Harry Wood the baths attendant.  He used to let us stay over our time.  My brothers used to throw me in -- I soon learnt to swim -- yes happy days.
