EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the essence of Holiday Park EAW226932, formerly known as Squires Gate Holiday Camp, nestled in the vibrant city of Blackpool. Taken by Aerofilms in 1972 and preserved within the Historic England Archive, this image is a testament to the park's rich history and enduring popularity as a beloved family holiday destination. The photo showcases an expansive landscape dotted with an array of leisure and recreational facilities that have brought joy to countless visitors over the years. From sprawling green spaces to inviting swimming pools, it is evident that this park was designed with families in mind. The bustling atmosphere depicted here hints at the laughter-filled days spent enjoying thrilling rides, engaging in friendly competitions on sports fields, or simply basking under the warm sun. Although Pontins took over ownership in 1961, this particular snapshot offers a glimpse into its earlier incarnation as Squires Gate Holiday Camp. Its transformation into Pontins only added to its allure and reputation for providing unforgettable experiences for generations of holidaymakers. While time has passed since this photograph was taken and Holiday Park EAW226932 closed its doors in 2009, it remains etched within our collective memory. Today, redevelopment efforts are underway to breathe new life into this cherished site - ensuring that future generations can continue creating treasured memories just like those captured from above all those years ago.
