There aren't many outdoor swimming pools in our area - not these days anyway - however things might have been different had ambitious plans for Glasgow Green gone ahead.
And with today's unseasonably warm weather, we can almost guarantee this place would have been hoachin'.
Back in 1939, work to construct the pool between the People's Palace and the Nelson Monument began to provide the city with its very own lido - similar to the one down at Gourock.
Unfortunately, due to World War Two, work on the site was frozen, and a decision was then made to fill in the excavated area and cancel the swimming pool plans.
It's believed that Glasgow City Council petitioned for funds to complete the pool, but these were unsuccessful, and it the area was subsequently backfilled in 1950.
Back in 2000, it was discovered that the olympic-sized pool had been filled in with toxic coal tar waste. With work believed to have taken place subsequently to 'cap the site' to avoid any future possible threats to the city population.
