Butlins
Butlins Holiday Camps were founded by (later Sir) Billy Butlin to provide economical holidays in Britain.
The growth of the business was spurred by World War II when a number of camps were requisitioned for use as training camps, generating revenues for a post-war boom. The business was merged into the Rank Organisation, but sold off in the 1990s.
The camps were noted for their famous "Redcoats" who provided entertainment and organisation at every level.
