Little Hayfield is a hamlet in the Peak District National Park, in Derbyshire, England. It lies on the A624between Hayfield and Glossop. At the centre of the hamlet isthe Lantern Pike pub. Opposite the pub is a wooded area and there lies the Lido.
The Lido was originally a private pool belonging to Park Hall Manor and then became a country club in the 1930’s it later opened to members around 1938 who paid a small fee for its use.
The pool is fed by a mountain stream and the water is reported to remain cool throughout the year.
In the 1940’s/50’s locals recall the pool being open to the public where it cost a ‘shilling for children and half a crown for adults’ entry. Postcards in circulation in the 1960’s provide evidence that the pool remained open at least until then.
The Lido was abandoned and hidden in the woods for many years but now a new owner is working to preserve and restore it.
