The lido was opened on 20 August 1938. The lido was designed by Harry Rowbotham and TL Smithson (London County Council Parks Department) and is nearly identical in design to Victoria Park Lido and Brockwell Park Lido. There was a diving stage, shutes and a café, with areas for sunbathing and spectators. Costing £34,000 to construct, this was the most expensive of London County Council's 13 lidos built in the 1920-39 period. In 1976, after the death of a 15-year-old boy,[3] further safety measures were taken, including removing most of the diving facilities and increasing staff. The last diving board was removed in 2003. Refurbishments after the late 1980s included hot showers, cycle racks, paddling pool and CCTV.[4][5] In 1986 the lido was taken over by the London Residuary Body and in 1989 by the Corporation of London. The lido was Grade II Listed in January 1999.[6] 49,000 visitors were recorded in 2003.In 2005, the custom for free swimming before 9.30am was dropped and a £2 entry fee introduced. Refurbishment in 2005 included a stainless steel pool lining, the first of its kind for an outdoor pool in Britain. (wikipedia)

I paint in a style for a period of a four to six weeks or so untill I get bored and pick up another style, I tend alternate between tighter realist styles and looser more abstract styles, subject matter changes but there are definite reocurring themes. Beaches, pools, bathers, scenes from classic films, history... forming a backdrop to my own meditation on the subject. Within that space I focus on expressions of social dynamics. In this sense I feel I am more of a traditionalist as I attempt to relate back to painting history and pull away from the other media -film and photo- which ironically inform and are sometimes the starting point of my work. On a formal level I am currently focused on extending and strengthening my colour palette, for example in many of the scenes I will incorporate primary and complementary colour dynamics - cool versus warm– to create spatial tension the way Richard Diebenkorn was able to so successfully; a large ocean/pool blue or tree green punctuated by a small area of skin tone or a bright red or yellow umbrella or swimming suit. I find in much of my painting I cannot easily separate nostalgia for a bygone era, the sensual from more specific contemporary iconography of human interaction. I think this makes the subject-matter multi-layered and keeps me interested in making work. Hopefully it makes it more interesting to the viewer as well.
