Visted in 26th November 2017. Once a thriving holiday camp nestled in a small village on the outskirts of Yarmouth, Left to decay over time as expenses increased, Bookings decreased and repairs piled up. But what caused a decreased the bookings? And could it have been avoided?

Abandon Pontins Holiday Park by Mia Stone, on Flickr
Pontins holiday park Hemsby on the Norfolk coast announced its closure on January 5th 2009 due to rising costs; decline in future bookings and escalating costs in the maintenance of the aging camp. The holiday camp covers 22 acres approx. with accommodation for 2440 holiday makers run by a staff of 55. During its prime the self-catering camp was set up in 1971 with around 500 chalets, the site consists of a reception and information centre, amusement arcade, fast food outlet, play area, entertainment hall seating 1,700, smaller hall accommodating 800 and a shop. There was also an indoor swimming pool, a pub, snooker rooms, tennis courts, adventure playground and go-karting track
On the final days of Pontins rein at the end of 2008, staffs were given just 48 hours’ notice to leave and vacate the premises when the camp closed suddenly. This had a massive effect to the local community who relied on the holiday resort source of seasonal employment as well as their local businesses to profit throughout the holiday season. The future of Pontins was a roller-coaster of uncertainty, fundamental war between locals and Councillors. The Camelot theme park based in Pontins has been designated for leisure purposes only in any redevelopment plans; plenty of housing projects for the site were rejected by Hemsby Councillors try in desperation to bring back the once thriving tourist economy. Various tourist plans came to light, fortunately it has been announced that a new £10 million holiday “Super Park” will get under way in Hemsby after planning permission for the new exciting new development was granted. The Holiday Park will be revived in all its glory once again
