Only a small amount of space at Highfields Lido was available for those who just wanted to sunbathe. In order to increase the available sunbathing area, in 1936 a sun deck was installed across the width of the pool, which effectively created two separate pools. Given the presence of the sun deck in this photograph it must date from at least the latter half of the 1930s - if not later.

The University of Nottingham subsequently featured a version of this picture postcard in an edition of its Campus Contact magazine. We have utilised this image to provide a much larger copy of this image which is available for inspection.
