A mother holds her young son high into the air while waste deep in the warm waters of Brockwell Lido in Herne Hill, south London, SE24. It is a fine summer's day and the pool is quiet before a rush of other families return for another day at their local pool. The mum throws the lad up and he squeels with delight at being thrust so high above the water's surface. This lido was opened in July 1937, closed in 1990 and after a local campaign was re-opened in 1994. Brockwell Lido was designed by HA Rowbotham and TL Smithson of the London County Council's Parks Department to replace Brockwell Park bathing pond
