Product Description

Daily Telegraph, Preview July 13, 2002

Hinde's postcards of Butlin’s in the late 1960s and early 1970s were his brightest, most fantastic creations.

The Face, October 2002

Wonderfully stylized… how weird pre-Thatcherite Britain really was!

5.0 out of 5 stars A childhood revisited, 28 Feb 2003

By	Mr. Stephen J. Rodgers (Brisbane) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was born in 1969 and lived for 19 years in Bognor Regis and occasionally visited Butlins in Bognor Regis during my childhood. The pictures in the book evoked strong memories of innocent times spent in this garish oddity that was clearly the greatest marriage of paint, textile and bad taste. The clarity of the images that unfold as you browse your way through leave the voyeur with little left to imagine of what a holiday might have been like in one of these places in the early seventies. One can only hope that one day, the only thing remaining of the Butlins entity will be some fond childhood memories and this book...anything else would be too much

5.0 out of 5 stars Folks having fun, 27 Jul 2003

By	Robin Benson - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

John Hinde's wonderful photos capture a peculiarly British phenomenon, the Butlin's vacation camp. As photographer Martin Parr says in his intro...Billy Butlin had the great idea of providing a holiday park for the working class, where they could have a good time despite the English weather. The price included everything, accommodation, food and entertainment so the camps where very popular with families, ma and pa could do what they wanted knowing that the kids, not being able to stray from the enclosed site, could play all day in safety.

The fifty-five large, pin-sharp photos in this book capture exactly the feel and ambience of the various Butlin camps around the country. They all show groups of people, indoors and out, eating, dancing (ballroom dancing was always a big draw for pensioners) swimming, relaxing or whatever. Hinde used real campers for these photos and in nearly every one, if you look closely, you can always spot one person who is looking at the camera, I bet they were told to ignore the camera and all the lights and look as if they were having a good time. As these pictures show the British relaxing on vacation there are naturally plenty of men wearing a jacket, collar and tie, on sunny days too!

I think this is a lovely book that captures, with documentary style photos, the seventies look of a unique English institution.
