More about this scene

In 1906, Fletcher Dodd began to provide holidays for groups of socialists from the East End of London in the grounds of his house on Ormesby Road. The potential of a holiday camp soon became apparent, and Dodd acquired nearby land which became the first holiday camp in England. Although the original 1906 site has been built on, the expanded camp site was bought by Ladbrokes in 1973 and is still going today.
