Been a bit noisy down at Bath’s Cleveland Pools just recently.
When l visited this remnant of an open-air Georgian lido beside the River Avon a pump was busy removing all the water still contained in the pool.
They need to examine the structure of this old bathing establishment – which is due for restoration – but the task involved a real rescue operation too – as Simon Smith – an ecologist from a wildlife consultancy called Simecology – explained.
Sorry about the noisy pump but it wasn’t possible to stop things while the interview took place.
