Ingoldmells, The Hotel, Butlin's Holiday Camp c.1955
Photo ref:

More about this scene
Before you reach Ingoldmells, north of Skegness, you pass one of Butlins' largest holiday camps. Indeed, it was Billy Butlin's very first one, opened in 1936 and the first in the country. In this view we see the rather good Art Deco 'Butlins Ingoldmells Hotel', now brutally changed. The central stone-faced pavilion has now been lowered and clad in profiled metal sheeting, while the ground floor openings have been infilled. To complete the aesthetic devastation, the whole thing has been painted pale grey except for a band of brickwork.
