Butlins- 75 Years of Fun! by Sylvia Endacott & Shirley Lewis

• A trip down memory lane for all who knew and loved the Butlin's holiday camps.

• Features photographs from the Butlin's archives which also includes fond memories from employees and holidaymakers— many illustrations being published for the first time

• A nostalgic selection of ephemera includes images of postcards and adverts illustrating the history of the many centres and how we associate with the most British of establishments.

Sylvia Endacott and Shirley Lewis worked for Butlin's for a joint total of forty-five years. Now retired, they are local historians who compile historical displays for events in Bognor Regis. Sylvia Endacott gives talks on the history of Butlin's entitled 'One Man's Dream.' For ten years she wrote a weekly local history column and has compiled twelve local history books
