The Wish You Were Here Holiday Memorabilia Pack

Before the days of mass car ownership, holidays abroad and the ever expanding motorway network Britain’s holiday makers travelled to the seaside resort or holiday camp in a more leisurely way, by bus or train.
This informative and beautifully reproduced set of replica documents, brochures, advertisements, entertainment guides and saucy postcards vividly recreates the holiday and leisure activities of a quieter more sedate Britain.

This informative replica pack contains:

Prestatyn Holiday Camp (1959)
“ So much to do - so little to pay” is the claim on this colourful fold out brochure. Packed with photographs of activities, chalets and sand.

New Winter Gardens (1930s)
Entertainment at Morecambe Ballroom including a boxing competition (starring Dick Freezer), whilst the audience at the theatre was entertained by the like of Dick Tubb and the Three Romps.    

Torquay Hotel Leaflet
A typical 1950s leaflet for this seafront hotel, boasting “running water and electric light”. All for just 3 ½  guineas per week.

Collection Of Postcard Images
The “saucy” postcards were synonymous with the British seaside holiday as were Punch and Judy and donkeys on the seafront.

Daily Entertainment Guide (1955)
A veritable feast of entertainment for the summer at Skegness. Never a dull moment with a line up including “Uncle Boko” the Joe Daniels Orchestra and Jimmy Nuts

Sunnyhurst Holiday Camp (c 1940s)
Fascinating booklet, illustrated with photographs, along with Regulations such as “ Campers are expected make their own beds” and “ Silence must be strictly observed from 11.45pm”. Quite right too.

Miscellaneous Ephemera
A mixed bag of deckchair receipts, Crazy Golf cards and train timetables.

By Coach To The Seaside
A story booklet (c1960s) told through the eyes of a child travelling to a seaside holiday by bus. Innocence personified.
