Butlin's Memorabilia Website
The Untold Stories

My Untold Story of Butlins

Butlin's goes beyond being a holiday camp, resort, or hotel; it stands as a testament to a long-standing history that has delighted both guests and staff. The project was spearheaded by Sir Billy Butlin, alongside Billie Ditchfield and Norman Bradford, who were instrumental in developing the Redcoat experience for all to enjoy. This website highlights The Untold Stories of Butlin's, focusing on lesser-known accounts, including your own, that are equally valuable. Below, you can find information on how to share your story and contribute to the Butlin's Memorabilia website.

  • What to consider - The photos
    It is a true delight for me to share your story on the Butlins Memorabilia website, as it can inspire others to remember their experiences. Before you submit your story, I encourage you to consider the individuals in your photos and whether they would be pleased to be included in the Butlins Untold Stories section of the Butlins Memorabilia website.
  • If some people are not happy, are there options?
    I am able to blur the faces of those who wish to remain anonymous, honoring their request. The photograph can still effectively communicate its message without showing their identities. In most instances, this change does not greatly alter the image's impact. I will provide you with a preview of the Untold Story for your feedback and any edits needed to ensure all parties are content.
  • What if I don't have photos and just want to discuss the story with you?
    The focus of Butlins Memorabilia Untold Stories is on your unique story, rather than requiring photographs. I can add postcards and images to align with specific areas, so please don’t worry if you don’t have any photos. I am honored that you chose to share your story with me and the website.
  • There is no pressure to share with the website
    There is absolutely no pressure to share your story with the website or Mark. If you're feeling hesitant, take a moment to unwind with a cup of tea. The website and group will have a wealth of information for you to discover. When you’re ready to connect, don’t hesitate to reach out; if not, simply relax and enjoy your time on the site.
