Merseyside was once home to an outdoor swimming pool where generations of families would spend their days during the summer, despite the water being "freezing".
Derby Pool in Wallasey, Wirral, was a 330ft (100m) long rectangular swimming pool which had a high diving board, spring boards, fountains and a chute. There was also a two-tier pavilion and terrace where sunbathers could soak up the sun or shelter from the sea breeze.
The swimming pool opened in 1932 on Harrison Drive and was the first of its kind along the Wallasey coastline, with the popular New Brighton pool later opening. Derby Pool was damaged several times over the years by bad weather, before being demolished in 1980. A Harvester pub now stands where the swimming pool once was, fittingly called The Derby Pool.
