Pontins Prestatyn Shut Down Forever - Another Look To See What's Going On, Dji Mini 3 Pro

[@northlondonmodels]

Sad but not suprized to see it closed. At the far end the exit that was never open leads onto Bastion Gardens where I used to live. During the winter the swimming pool was open to locals so I often went there as a junior. It also doesn't look like it has changed much since the mid 70s and most ppl of a certain age will remember Holiday on the buses film , much of which was filmed here and around the area.

[@markthomas4254]

My family members were actually extras that appeared on the movie 😊 Prestatyn born and bred, still live here now. We actually went to the reunion of holiday on the buses this year, its amazing when you watch the film back very little has changed. though I think that was part of the charm, unfortunately it was kept very well maintained or clean. If I could be really cheeky and ask you to subscribe if you haven't already, as it really helps the channel grow 😊

Loved going there as a child in the 70's - climbing up the little watchtower and playing on the dunes.

[@markthomas4254]

Yes in the 70's it was an immensely popular holiday destination 😀 have you returned to the area since? If I could be cheeky and ask you to subscribe as it really helps the channel grow 😊

[@Caroline_Tyler]

@@markthomas4254 Not been back there since I was a child. It was those Chalets back then I think though my memory of the accommodation is poor.

[@markthomas4254]

@Caroline_Tyler no no the chalets are mostly exactly the same since being built. They gave a bit of a spruce up a good few years back by putting double glazing in but there are still plenty with the old wood frames 😬

As a kid, in the 70's, I had two family holidays at Butlins Pwllheli and one at Butlins Skegness. All great holidays. I had one holiday at Pontins Prestatyn. The only thing I remember was, that it was the worst holiday I'd ever had!

[@markthomas4254]

We actually visit the Pwellheli site each year now owned by Haven here is the fly over kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3KziZKLbNBkbLc The slides are still there from Butlins days. I think Pontins has always been a bit more on the budget end though the entertainment was ment to be amazing. If I could be cheeky and ask you to subscribe as it really helps the channel grow 😊

[@baylessnow]

Thanks for reminding me, I took my wife to Pwllheli a few years back. The second worse holiday of my life! Haven took over from the tornado (storm not fighter jet) in destroying a great camp. No chair lifts or train to the beach, so my wife had to struggle through overgrown vegetation with a walking stick. No fairground, nothing for free anymore, except the indoor pool, where I caught an ear infection. My advice is, if anybody is expecting to relive a holiday of the 70's/80's, forget it and avoid it like the plague!

Excellent footage mate 🎥 do you know what’s happening with the site?

[@markthomas4254]

There has been alot of rumours , local holiday park owners have shown interest but it doesn't seem they are ready to put it up for sale. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIHQhH-CirRsbqcfeature=shared here is a link to my partners vlog she spoke to the security to see what they think 🤔 We honestly think it's looking more likely to temporarily house migrants at the minute.

[@Alex-m4g7j]

is there still security?

[@markthomas4254]

Yes they have security at the front and driving around, then new cameras in some of the accommodation facing onto the grounds. If I could ask you to subscribe for future updates and it also helps the channel grow 😀

The government still denies this is the plan for it but let's face it, it would be the 1st thing they have lied about 🙄 please like and subscribe for future updates. It also really helps the channel grow 😊

Funny you should they that, last summer whilst it was open that was the local running joke being made about the place 🤣

[@Fishingadventureuk]

Let em all in I say !

[@markthomas4254]

Maybe it would put them off coming 🤣😂 but jokes aside I sincerely hope not it would be housing 1000's that should be holiday makers 😊 if I could be cheeky and ask you to subscribe as it really helps the channel grow 😀

[@ododargo]

full of boat people next lots of holiday parks closing wonder why?

[@mattsan70]

not a chance unless they build a 5 star complex on site

[@markthomas4254]

It's definitely a huge site and accommodates thousands, though the government has rejected the idea some time ago but that doesn’t really mean much. 😳 If I could be really cheeky and ask you to subscribe as it really helps the channel grow and updates will come as soon as I hear anything 😊
