Holidayed/Worked at Butlin's between 1945-1965?

[jack_w]

Hi Everyone,

I'm a final year undergraduate studying for a BA Geography at the University of Oxford. For my dissertation, I'm currently researching the rise of holiday camps such as Butlin's in the post-war period, particularly focusing on the period 1945-1965.

I'm on the look out for people who worked/holidayed at any of the Butlin's camps during this period who would be willing to talk to me about their experiences. Nothing too in-depth, I just wanted to chat about general impressions of holiday camps, and your own memories and experiences of Butlin's camps.

This could be over the phone, in person, or simply via e-mail - I'm very flexible, and any time or information you can offer me would be greatly greatly appreciated!

If you can be of any help whatsoever, please do get in touch!

Thanks so much,
Jack Watson

Did anything come of this Andy?

It is so annoying when these 1 post members ask for help and information and that's the last we hear about it.

I know dissertations don't happen overnight but I'm sure other members as well as myself are interested in progress / outcome
