This is great! I have shared it on my Clacton history page on face book! Please join us by searching Memories of growing up in Clacton in the 40's and 50's
thanks for sharing the history. this is what i would love to relive again from when i was young in OZ camp. I had hoped to enjoy in the UK but sadly it is a disappearing saga. :(
Butlins what can i say, holiday camp for working people, red coats, blue coats, the pig and whistle, kids tucked up in bed,early moning call [ good morning campers]carbolic soap, uncle Boko, the freezing out door pool, and kids crying when the week was up, to go back home to the depressing excistance of the 1950s.
