EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: Sea View Holiday Camp, Hunstanton, Norfolk, Circa 1930. Step back in time with this evocative photograph of Sea View Holiday Camp at Hunstanton, Norfolk, circa 1930. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of British holidaymaking, when the simple pleasures of a seaside break were enough to bring joy and relaxation to weary city dwellers. The camp, which appears little more attractive than a refugee camp, houses its guests in rows of assorted caravans, each one nestled closely against its neighbour. The sea view, while undeniably picturesque, is a shared experience, with no private access for each family or group. Despite its modest appearance, Sea View Holiday Camp represented a significant departure from the traditional British seaside holiday. The advent of affordable caravans and the growing popularity of self-catering accommodation allowed families to enjoy a more flexible and cost-effective break. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the humble beginnings of the British holiday camp industry, which would go on to become a mainstay of the British holiday experience for generations to come. Today, as we enjoy the comforts and conveniences of modern holiday parks, it's worth taking a moment to reflect on the simpler pleasures that once drew people to the seaside, and the spirit of adventure and community that defined the early days of holiday camping.
