Went there in year 7 so much fun shame it closed. I stayed in the one at 4:22 :(

@SuperHeroMan411 4:07 the security guard showed up and tried giving me a hard time, didn't work though as I told him I was filming how dangerous it was to make a complaint to his employers because I had been able to walk in unchallenged...lol, he looked well worried. They have demolished the main building now, shame as I use to like walking my dog in the grounds and it was pretty spooky at times because it was so quite...only the ghosts left, and the security guard...thanks for your comments

Thank you for this. Is this what used to be Puckpool?

[isleofwightinsider]

Yes part of it was Puckpool it merged with the adjoining St Clare Holiday Camp (also owned by Warners) in the late 1980s to form Harcourt Sands.

Sold to Renowned Holidays in the mid-1990s and later closed in September 2006

Puckpool featured in the cult 1972 movie 'That'll be the Day'.

I made another video about that see: 'That'll be the Day revisited' on my channel page, its listed in the left column near the bottom

this is a great video,bringing on all those nostalgic feelings....all that once transpired there..suddenly gone..sad real sad...but excellent video,"fitting" background. thankyou........:)

[isleofwightinsider]

Thank you for that, it did take a long time to make especially the sound track, finding all those sound effects free online and all that...LoL.

I don't really have the time to devote to it anymore, and I kinda run low on ideas after 30 or so videos, but I do still have loads of Harcourt footage I haven't used yet, so hopefully I will get the urge again...do watch my other Harcourt videos...cheers

Thanks very much. So many memories of Puckpool in the 70s and 80s. Ok, it was basic accommodation but so much fun.
