Butlins Filey

[@hedgemist691]

There is nothing more heartbreaking than scenes of an abandoned and desolate place which was once full of life and joy. Especially when it is one that you once knew.

A wonderful place of happiness and laughter reduced to a place of misery and desolation. It was the best of all Sir Billy’s camps. Spent many happy holidays there, so sad to see it like a ghost town

Very eerie to see it like this. I remember my dad collecting vouchers from our local newspaper which gave a considerable discount for a day's entry. I had the time of my life!

Good to see this , currently staying on Primrose Valley (w/c 18/05/15), where we are on the park is what used to be part of the Butlins site, using google maps and GPS on my phone i actually found where the outside swimming pool used to be, its now a lake,but no signs of Butlins left apart from the odd piece of old brick showing through the new growing grass.....sad really that eveything has been wiped away...!!!!
