Pontins Brean Sands - A brief history - Slide Show
Originally opened in the 1930s this small 6-acre holiday camp was used during the war as a US army base. Fred Pontin bought the site in 1946 from the Dean family for £23,000 and it became the first ever Pontins holiday camp with a capacity of 200 guests in small wooden chalets. A few months later Pontin purchased his second camp, also from the Dean family, this time at Osmington Bay in Weymouth.
Facilities at Brean during that first year included the Tudor dining hall, a dance hall and a billiards room. Outside was a bowling green, putting green and two tennis courts. Chalets were equipped with electric lighting, lino floors and a hand basin with cold running water. Four meals a day were p...

How the holiday camp looked back in the 1970s and 1980s. Located in Ainsdale, about 4 miles south of the famous pier, this 26-acre seafront camp was built new by Pontins in 1969 at a cost of £2.5 million. It featured 700 self-catering chalets arranged in 66 two-storey apartment style blocks which were laid out in an unusual circular pattern. The construction company that built the camp was owne...

Before it became Pontins it was known as Squires Gate Holiday Camp. Here's a little photographic tribute to both eras. The brainchild of Herbert Pye Squires Gate developed during the early 1930s as a camping ground with tents. By the late 1930s the tents had been replaced by over a thousand wooden chalets and in 1939 a huge new dining hall, bar, 'grand piazza' and outdoor swimming pool were bui...

Before it was Pontin's it was Maddieson's Holiday Camp. This slide show covers both eras as a tribute to the old camp which lasted for 88 years. Arguably the first proper holiday camp in the country, Hemsby was opened back in 1920 by Harry Maddieson, 16 years before Billy Butlin opened his first camp at Skegness. The little 9 acre full-board camp continued to be run by the Maddieson family for ...

Prior to this it was a cricket ground. It has 820 chalets mostly arranged in two-storey apartment-style blo...

    I used to go on holiday to Maddiesons at Hemsby with my parents and sister in the 1960s; we had such great times there. After Pontins took it over we started going to Seacroft just down the road, Pontins subsequently took that over, too. Thank you for posting.

    That site is currently being turned into a new housing development called The Dunes. The structure of the brick chalets has been retained and will be used in the new houses.

    The last picture was taken from The Traymore Hotel, known as "The Sandcastle By The Sea." It was, at one time, the world's largest resort hotel and had Absecon Island's (where Atlantic City's located) first elevator. The Traymore was imploded in April 1972.

    and i grew up in the 60's with a drunk dad that was top car salemen in the entire region and his family, me and my 2 brothers and mom were on welfare and without a car most times. He would bring home a corvair and tell my mom she could have it if we cleaned it up so we scrubbed it and he would then sell it from underneath us, he did this several times.
