Walpole Bay tidal bathing pool

Uploader's Comments

The construction of the pools is simply the enclosure of the foreshore by two side walls and an end wall, and the natural beach has been utilised as the floor of the pool, the slope giving a graded deepening of the water to a maximum of about 6 ft. 6 in. The pool is over 4 acres in size and is located at Cliftonville at the east end of Margate http://www.bathsandwashhouses.co.uk/archive/your-local-buildings/margate/marine-terrace-pool-and-walpole-bay-bathing-pool
