About

Welcome to my new site where I’ll be writing about some of the more overlooked and forgotten parts of British history. One example is holiday camps. So many camps have come and gone over the years and they’re mostly all forgotten now. Butlins is well documented, in fact I started the Butlins Memories website 25 years ago! But what about all the other camps? I’ll be writing some blogs to ensure their memories remain alive.

I’ll also be looking at other subjects such as amusement parks, hotels, tourist attractions, and whatever else sounds interesting. This is a new blog that I only started in August 2024, so it’ll take some time to get everything written and uploaded. But I’m hoping to add new content on a regular basis.

I’ve got thousands of old pictures along with postcards and other memorabilia and I’ll be using some of this stuff to illustrate my blogs. Most of my photos were taken by assorted family members including my grandfather, uncle and parents.  I’m eventually hoping to offer some of these vintage images as quality canvas prints with easy online ordering.

Thanks for stopping by and please don’t hesitate to leave a comment in the blogs to share your own memories and thoughts.
