In this area, you can see all the postcards that are before the Butlin's Holiday Worlds era. The years covered are from opening year to around 1986. There is also some in here with no postmark dates.
Rank had made a bold move to reduce the camps to only five and Butlin's AYR was one of the selected ones to remain. At first, it was renamed to Butlin's Southcoast World for a small time until it changed into it's final name.
In 1999, Rank had made a large change to Butlin's in its final years of their ownership. Butlin's had reduced in size to the last three that we have today. They were renamed to resorts and pavilions installed on all three. It was then sold to Bourne Leisure Limited, which have been investing in them ever since to keep them going strong.
Bourne leisure limited had made a major change in Butlin's as they reintroduced the hotel division. Bognor Regis was the selected resort to have these return back to Butlins. To this very date (as of 2021), three hotels are on the smallest site of the remaining three.
My collection also continues to show Bognor Regis Butlins, a view from town. The postcards show another view of the lovely location and also the additional views of a great town where so many people are welcome.
