OK, so most of you know the history but here is a little more but its written by me. It closed down in 2008, In it's time it brought so much revenue to Hemsby and the little village thrived on it's tourists. This has been a place I have seen since I was knee high to a grasshopper as my grand parents have always lived around the corner. My grandad in fact has been keeping me updated in regards to the redevelopment plans (he is 86!!) So for me exploring this place was a little sad.

So on to my pictures.

A wall full of pictures drawn by the children that had stayed here

The swimming pool, the last time I saw this there must have been 50 kids in it and it was full of water!

I loved this place when I went..and that swimming pool was great..lovely pics.looks like you had fun.
 
Had a quick look around here recently, but seem to have missed all the most interesting parts. The main building (the place with all the theming) looks awesome, but the actual accommodation units were pretty stripped.

Good pictures - thanks for sharing. I'll have to drop back sometime and get the bits I missed.
 
better be quick sold to persimmon homes and due for demolition

Yes I noticed that the chalets etc had been stripped and I think cable thieves had been in there too. There were a couple of open chalets which were in quite good condition actually. The caberet bit was interesting, eventually found entry but worth it :)
 
Superb photos, I remember Pontins well although it was the Great Yarmouth one I went to.

I have a cuddly toy of the croc... although it could be a 'had' - I have no idea where he is now!

Cheers for sharing :)
 
it will end up with twice as many houses than they are been told;) anymore pics?

Massive shame, the whole village is in uproar over it as it should have been sold as a leisure site to continue bringing revenue in. The redevelopment will be interesting.
