WELSH SLATE TOPS AN 18-YEAR CAMPAIGN TO RE-OPEN A LISTED LIDO

Roof slates by Welsh Slate feature on the renovated Cleveland Pools.

The UK’s oldest public open-air swimming baths, once used as a trout farm, are enjoying a new lease of life, thanks in part to Welsh Slate.

Some 75m2 of Welsh Slate’s new Penrhyn Heather Blue roofing slates feature alongside salvaged originals on the main building and changing rooms of the lido at Cleveland Pools, a Grade II* listed building that had been on the Buildings at Risk register.
