More about this scene
The long-time motto all along the front of the large road-side buildings was 'Our True Intent Is All For Your Delight', which is a quotation from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. However, the motto and the buildings have disappeared in an almost total rebuild of the camp. In 1936 it was the first holiday camp to be built in Britain. Locals were most surprised when it was claimed by Lord Haw Haw to have been sunk during the war, when it was known as HMS Royal Arthur and was a Royal Navy training camp.
