Plain Roof Tiles Reading
Built in 1902 this is a rare example of a traditional Edwardian women’s swimming pool, so unusual that it is thought to be the oldest surviving outdoor municipal pool of its type and has been awarded Grade II listed status.
The Lido which was previously used exclusively for female swimmers is being restored and developed into a cultural destination which will include a restaurant, bar, 25-metre pool, sauna, hot tub and spa.
William Blyth’s handmade natural red plain tiles have been selected for this magnificent Lido as our tiles are the best match to the originals, complementing the original brick work and bespoke materials used on the Thames Lido. Due to the unique weathering properties, once laid the tiles will produce a matured appearance to blend in perfectly just as they had previously. William Blyth tiles can be laid as one colour or blended with other colours to give any roof its own unique appearance.
