Abandoned Holiday Camp, Pontins, Hemsby, Norfolk.

#Abandoned #Pontins #Norfolk #HolidayCamp
Having first visited this location back in 2018 as one of our very first explores we decided to return, knowing that demolition had now begun we wanted to take one final look before it was all gone..
Unfortunately our explore was cut short this time due to the increased security now on site but with a combination of new and past footage we feel we've managed to capture a nice video log of the place before it's all lost forever.
Feel free to take a look back at our previous videos from 2018.. as you can see we've come along way since then! Please excuse the dodgy music, 😂

Stayed here as a kid in the late 80’s with my mum, dad and siblings....sadly my dad’s no longer here but it bought back a lot of happy memories even though its in a state now....thanks guys....

[@ExploringWithEmAndStu]

You are more then welcome we are pleased it brought back some good memories for you... When we edited this video it took along time to find the right footage in its hay day... Thank you for watching 👍😊

[@terriclarke3101]

Thank you, it’s brought it all back, the Noddy train, the disco club, the swimming pool and the donkey derby. So sad to see it in such disrepair now.

[@seanyboyoc]

Went there in 1983 with my cousins. Such a great week we had and seeing all these holiday camps on KZbin - the ones on The Isle of Wight, usually Puckpool and St Clare - is so sad, I’m almost moved to tears seeing them like this. It’s haunting, imagining the fun times and entertainment. A memory of my childhood and teenage years that I will never forget. Thanks so much for posting.

[@ExploringWithEmAndStu]

Its such a shame to see so many of these places once fill with so much joy now left abandoned shells of them former selves, but I guess its a sign of the times 😔 Some of the land will be retained for holiday let's and the swimming pool reinstated so I guess all is not lost.. Thanks you very much for watching and sharing your memories with us 🙂

Great video, i live in Norwich and remember this site well, me and my mate (rip) would jump the fence most weekends in the summer just to go in the club bar as there was always .security on the main entrance and always asked for name and room number. 1980 ish thanks for the memory :)

[@user-th4gn5sh7e]

I went here as a kid in 1997 and then again in 2006. First time don’t remember very well but remember learning to swim and being able to bring pet cats. My mum bought 2 cats with us for some reason. And then again in 2006 as a teen. I remember one night watching a fight broke out outside the queen Victoria lol. A lot of swearing and shouting.

Very sad to see all these holiday camps disappearing. Spent MANY weeks and long weekends at them thanks to playing darts. They were home to a lot of major tournaments from the 70's until the 90's, and Pontin's at Hemsby was a regular stop, hosting the BDO Mayday Festival every year. We moved there from Denes at Kessingland.

It reminds me football club owners in the 1950s & 1960s. Massive public participation and huge revenue spent by the owners on Rolls Royce cars homes in Bermuda and huge stately homes and no investment in the business.

You and us also we go to so many places that are like this and it is sad... thanks for watching and happy Christmas 🎄

[@neilcarlsson9463]

In stead of holiday firms building new places use existing ones

[@ExploringWithEmAndStu]

Yes we agree 👍

[@dalebenton3354]

Just looked on google earth for this place,Now looks like its all been torn down to the grounds,Nothing left of it now

Hi Dale, I live quite locally to Hemsby, its not actually been all demolished.. The main entertainment buildings have been but most of the chalets as well as the swimming pool is infact still standing.. it was bought by a developer who is converting the chalets into houses.. they plan on refurbishing the pool and adding new facilities.. We do have a slightly more recent video showing some of this and hope to return when it is all finished 😊

So very sad to see this place looking so neglected and abused like this. :-(

This should be renovated and used to House local Community!!

[@ExploringWithEmAndStu]

They've been developing the site now for around a year, converting some of the old chalets into houses, building new ones and renovation the swimming pool, hopefully it will be an asset to the local area, here's a little look we took not so long ago.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnKbgKiYm7Zles0

Seems incredibly sad watching this, it almost represents how the world has become and how the innocence has been taken over by evil and destruction.

I used to holiday here and was really sad to go back and see it like this... But now it's being developed 🙄
