Fun At Butlins In The 1970s At Filey

All the fun of Butlins in the 1970s at Filey, North Yorkshire. A chair lift and Puffing Billy what more could any child want ... but tastes have, of course, changed. The overseas package holidays virtually finished off Butlins.

Memories for many: Butlin's at Filey. No longer in existence but the postcard shows how it looked back in the mid 1970s. Butlin's started in the 1930s and Billy Butlin's aim was to provide affordable holidays for ordinary British families. But times change and with cheaper air fares in the 1980s many Butlin's camps were forced to close.
