Bathurst Pool, Lydney in the 1930s.

This swimming pool, located between Lydney and Aylburton, was given to the district in October 1920 by Charles Bathurst (who became Viscount Bledisloe in 1935) .
In the background are 2 of the chimneys of the Lydney Tinworks.

Lydney Grammar School used this pool for swimming lessons.

The stone reads "This swimming bath was presented to the inhabitants of Lydney & Aylburton by Charles Lord Bledisloe K.B.E. on the occasion of the coming of age of his elder son the Hon Benjamin Ludlow Bathurst 2nd October 1920".

It is now (2007) run by volunteers and "The Friends of Bathurst Pool".
