Hay folks well after seeing this site a good couple of times posted on forums I had to pay the place a visit as there is not much time left as planning permission has been granted earlier this yeah for housing.
Visited with my fellow explorers chris34 & kathyms
So for those who have not seen it yet a wee bit of history
Pontins, which was founded in 1946 by Fred Pontin, who specialised in half-board and self-catering breaks for British holidaymakers. Over the years the pontins brand has been sold to many different companies the last owner Ocean Parcs bought the chain of seven resorts for £46 million.
Hemsby was built in the early part of the 1950’s but due to the decline in bookings and needing a refurbishment Ocean Parcs decided to close this site as well as Blackpool and jersey so in January 2009 Hemsby seeing its last guests and closed it gates for the last time. Over the years the site has seen many famous acts like Carol Lee Scott AKA Grotbags and Timmy Mallett.
And many apologies for the lack of internals as due to many break-ins and vandalism the place is locked tighter than a nun’s lily pad and just getting into the grounds and having a mooch around was like a stealth SAS mission
So ladies and Gents my shots of pontins Hemsby
thanks for looking peeps
