Brightlingsea Lido
Brightlingsea open air swimming pool was built in 1933 and is one of the few remaining lidos (open air swimming pools built mainly in the art-deco period) still in use in the UK. Brightlingsea Lido was originally a salt water pool, but is now a two-level, non-heated freshwater facility. The pool comprises a 15m children’s pool and a 50m main swimming pool, with a 2.0m diving pit located in the deep end.

Brightlingsea is a coastal town and an electoral ward in the Tendring district of Essex, England. It is situated between Colchester and Clacton-on-Sea, at the mouth of the River Colne, on Brightlingsea Creek in the united kingdom. At the 2011 Census, it had a population of 8,076.
Its traditional industries included fishery (with a renowned oyster fishery) and shipbuilding. With the decline of these industries, the town is largely a dormitory town for Colchester.
Brightlingsea is a limb of Sandwich, one of the Cinque Ports. The town retains an active ceremonial connection with the Cinque Ports, electing a Deputy from a guild of Freemen.
Brightlingsea was for many years twinned with French oyster fishery port Marennes, Charente-Maritime, but the relationship fell into disuse. In the mid-1990s, the port of Brightlingsea was used for the export of live animals for slaughter, leading to a protest campaign dubbed The Battle of Brightlingsea.
In the centre of the town is Jacob's Hall, reputedly the oldest timber-framed building in England, built during the fourteenth century. Also in the town centre is Victoria Place, where many local businesses are based.
To the west, on the creek is Western Promenade. It has lines of beach huts, a skate park, swimming pool, boating lake, and paddling pool. It is a popular destination for tourists and Londoners. Bateman's Tower, a local landmark by the sea, has recently been renovated by the Colne Yacht Club with help from a Lottery Fund grant.
Earliest remains -
Brightlingsea sits on a promontory surrounded by the River Colne and its associated marshes and creeks (it was an island until the 16th century), and was settled from an early date. In 1995, an Early Neolithic pot, dated 4,000 to 3,100 BC, was found in a D-shaped enclosure with a ditch on a farm near Brightlingsea. Other early remains in the area date from the Bronze Age, Roman and Saxon periods.

LYTV #3 : The Lightyears at Brightlingsea Festival
The Lightyears play Brightlingsea Festival in Essex, Saturday 2 August 2008. It was the band's third appearance at the festival.
The video features the song Sleepless.
Also appearing in the video are Emily (from the song) and Danny Morriss (the LYs sound man).
Look out for festival organiser and friend of The Lightyears Alan Day (the chap with the beard, dressed in black).
ABOUT THE BAND
The Lightyears formed at school, and after achieving the impossible dream of headlining the Goring village fête, we embarked on a lifelong adventure of music, friendship and trying to look sexy and aloof in photoshoots. These days, whether we’re playing our own music to an intimate audience in Philadelphia, roaring through some of the best songs ever written in a marquee full of excited wedding guests in the English countryside or belting out singalong anthems to a raucous festival crowd in Cape Town, we follow three simple rules — have fun, make sweet music, and never forget that in 2008 we accidentally played a gig in a crèche.
