    Went there for several holidays in the 1960's. Butlins was still open then and on the pier the steel stella was a great roller-coaster.

    I used to go there all the time as a kid. Best times of my life with my nan and grandad there too. My mother lives nearby in Holland on sea so I still go back often now. Thanks for uploading.

      @@alex-E7WHU I'm more concerned about now to be honest. I saw an elderly London ( cockney) couple call a single woman in her thirtys a f'ing C because she forget to put a divider on the conveyor belt of the checkout. Obviously not all Londoners are arseholes but there are enough to ruin the town.
