A Son of the Rock

This photo, taken in Butlin’s, Skegness, in 1982, appeared in the Guardian on 7/5/2020. It’s from a book titled Butlin’s Holiday Camp 1982.

The cream rendered building has the Art Deco look. Flat roofs, horizontals, verticals, lovely clock face, window that’s almost a slit to the left. (The white building to the left of that also appears Deco.)

Look at that slogan though, “OUR TRUE INTENT IS ALL FOR YOUR DELIGHT.”

Fascistic overtones, don’t you think?
