Description
The elaborate entrance sign above the gate to the Art Deco Jubilee Pool situated on the promenade at Penzance.
Jubilee Pool, Penzance Cornwall was built upon a traditional bathing spot at the Battery Rocks near the harbour. It was opened with great celebration in May 1935, the year of King George V's Silver Jubilee.
It was described as one of the most unusual and pleasingly designed lidos of the era. The pool is triangular in shape yet with gentle curves, making it a most pleasant environment. Jubilee Pool is cleverly designed to cope with the full ferocity of the Cornish seas.
