Does anyone know whereabouts it was? Would like to have a look tomorrow
I thought primrose was older than than the demolition...I don’t think Primrose Valley is on it, no. It was a bit to the south. I was there in 1964, can still remember it.
Edit: it appears, according to Wiki, that’s Primrose Valley IS on the site of Butlins, my apologies, Mr. Holgate.I thought Primrose Valley predated Butlins’ demolition.
So it was next to primrose Valley and the was on the bay sitethere was a wire fence separating primrose valley and butlins.when we stayed at primrose valley we used to sneak in through a hole the fence

Those photos of the south fountain are SO poignant to me, I remember swimming and playing in the fountain in 1963 at the age of 3.
Yes that's correct, both sites have expanded and are pretty much next door to each other nowSo it was next to primrose Valley and the was on the bay site
If you look back, a month or so ago on here there was a good thread on Butlins. Can't remember the name but I had some good reminiscing over it as went on holiday pretty much every year in late 70s early 80sDoes anyone know whereabouts it was? Would like to have a look tomorrow
Sorry I did put an arrow on this map. It’s very faint though.
That's too far south, it was about where the 'Y' is in the Haven Primrose Valley Holiday Park text is on your map.Sorry I did put an arrow on this map. It’s very faint though.
