Aldershot Lido was  constructed in Edwardian times. The pool is kidney shaped and features a large slide in the middle (a terrifying ride when your only seven or eight) a large fountain in front and to the left of the slide, a smaller slide on the other side of the fountain with a diving platform nearby. At the deep end (some 12') the diving boards were situated.
 
All of these views are taken from old postcards purchased at antique fairs or from e-bay and date between 1900 to 1970. There are other pictures taken from out of print books. To the owners of the copyright my apologies

1. The big slide, if any child liked speed then this provided it. A good view across the pool showing the fountain and the diving platform next to it. The changing room block behind the high diving boards can be seen as well. They were at the deep end some 12 ft deep and the boards at least the same in height.
