- BUTLINS, Minehead - Monorail & Chairlift footage with added sound design.
Super 8 Film footage from the 1980's.
This was filmed by my Father (James Aldridge) on a cine camera. He estimates it to be 1981.
I had the old film reel scanned by 'Redditch Media Services' and then I edited the footage and added some sound design to bring it back to life.
If anyone could add anymore info regarding this footage then please do in the comments. Many thanks.

I went in the 90s, but it doesn't look too different. Loved my butlins holidays. Have fond memories. And now I'm taking my kids there next year. I know it has changed a lot, but as long as it evokes the same magic for my kids; that's all that matters.
I remember all this. It was amazing ❤❤❤❤🏴
The Butlins Minehead I remember. So many happy memories were created there - thanks for sharing!
I went there for a week with my Grandad in May 1975 , stayed in Yellow Camp. I went there again for Festival of the 60s in 2023 a great event
Happy memories this cinefilm brought back of ‘75, with the monorail stopping over the outdoor swimming pool. A shame it is so different now, but Minehead is still the best one over Bognor and Skegness.
Childhood memories
The best holiday ever. Been going Butlins last 40 years but not the same now I know things have to move on but it was much better back then. Miss those times at Butlins of old so much. Thanks for the great video. 👍
Brilliant brought some fantastic memories back to life. I just wish the monorail and cable cars were still there.
Butlins past. Full of colour and splendor. Bring it back please!
Colour & splendor describes it perfectly! :)
Thank you,great memories for me
Brings back memories I went in 1983 loved it . thanks
Every year we went here as family in the 90s, amazing video thank you , strange feeling being so happy and sad at the same time so much nostalgia ♥️
I loved the chairlift was awesome.
I was there that year, remember racing my Dad for a dropped Pound note outside the Yellow Camp Chalets, the footage is amazing, captures the time to perfection!!!
This certainly brings back memories from my childhood on holiday with my family
Lovely footage, thank you for sharing. The chairlifts and monorail were brilliant, being able to see so far across camp and beyond into Minehead and the sea front too.
We're there now and this was great for me to show my girls. Filmed the year I was born!
Omg brings back memories of my late mum who use to take me on holiday to butlins Minehead in the early 80s as she use to work for top rank bingo the same company who use to own the butlins campsites she use to be able to get discounts because of that
Yes it was owned by the Rank Group (Rank Organisation) at the time.
Thank you so much for this incredible footage!
Don't know whether to smile because I feel I'm there again, or cry because I'll never get to see it or experience it again.
What on earth were they thinking getting rid of the best of Butlins? :(
@@Hayley-dm2je You’re very welcome. It was my father that filmed it when we were there as kids, I was about 8. My Dad found the film in the loft so I had to digitise it and upload it for everyone to share the memories. Yes, I think Health & Safety stepped in and ruined it. Great memories though. Thanks for your comment.
@@jamesaldridgemedia Aww what a great job you both did to get it onto UA-cam!
I was an 80s kid & remember heading back to the chalet on the chairlift after a day of fun. It's such a shame they got rid it & monorail at Minehead.
I was thinking of booking a break to Minehead, but I'm just not sure.
It won't be the same :(
Thank goodness for the Needles chairlift on the Isle of Wight :)
Not like that now
Knew u were in butlins when u smelt the chlorine on the chairlifts and monorail from below brilliant memories
