I will be fair as Pete is so near just maybe 300yds away and also i never ever knew about this Boating Lake.

The word i was looking for was Rochester ESPLANADE Boating Lake in 1935. You will notice it goes the other way to the old swimming pool?

You can see in the picture the Arethusa which was being repaired at Acorn Wharf.

Over to you Pete.....

Wrong side of the river shoot999
Not Laughing Waters Pete but Lynch scrap yard is one of them nearby....... Jack Arnold was one Mayor of Rochester.

Rochester never had what you call a Lido. The swimming pool was next to a small boatyard.

Having said that the picture shows boats and you are very hot!
One more guess should nail it?
