lido hampstead heath 80 years young

lido hampstead heath 80 years young 01.04.18


welcome to paradise

chattering will be your teeth

for a whole day its a one payment price

situated on the promised land of hampstead heath.

time for a celebration

80 is a amazing remedy

my childhood had no need for sterilization

only remembered by me not even eleanor kennedy.

15 years your building

through cold wet and shades

to all readers now fielding

wanting memories of last 8 decades.

setting up a exhibition

people will attend like john travolta and disco

if no lido we would have worse then prohibition

it is so well complemented by art deco.

harry rowbatham was the designer

i would have loved to have shook his hand

it makes gordon house road shine brighter

in 1938 allot of money was 34 grand.

"give it a go day" won't deny

have a looked through the barred window

happy birthday is the automatic reply

80 years old and not drowning is the lido.

Re: lido hampstead heath 80 years young

We also had a Lido
Could be time for Braggs
In the Sutton Park
A shuffle with Boz Scaggs
Ladies scant in clobber
Caused slanted lip flobber
Get down Fido
Libido in the Lido.

I remember horse riding on the track at Hampstead Heath when I was a kid.

I never knew it was there. I used to go to windley leisure centre to swim. Just around the corner! There was a lovely pond/lake with ducks and swans just next to windley. Beautiful views.
