This is just outside the Splash swimming pool and it's showing the Sun and Moon pub with the pavilion in the background. If you were to travel back in time, you would be looking directly at the Cracker Jacks arcade.

The main funfair at the front, showing you former rides. The building you see here is the former Regency building with the Crazy Horse Saloon still on the ground floor and Sunsplash in the rear. As of 2023, this building has been demolished to make way for the Playxperience due to open in 2024. In the early days of Butlins Minehead, you will be standing in the front lake.

Showing Bar Russo before it was given a paint job, the former entrance to Butlins Minehead and the funfair. Going back to the early years of Butlin's, the top-hand corner will be showing the Prince building, which had the Pig and Whistle and Prince Ballroom, then developed into Centre Stage and Reds. The top left will show a large lake until it was converted into a funfair you see. The bottom left hand side would have been the Windsor building.
