Clarence Park Lido started life as Walmersley Reservoir (ref: Bury Times 1 June 1963). In 1962 the water was drained from the then-reservoir and concrete walls replaced its boulder-strewn banking as it was converted to a “lido” ready for the summer of 1963. Although officially known as “Clarence Lido” (or “Bury Lido”) it might be better described as a lake.
