EDITORS COMMENTS
Butlinland Skegness - Night Scene" is an evocative and captivating photograph that transports us back in time to the vibrant and lively atmosphere of Butlin's holiday camp in Skegness during the 1960s. Taken by renowned British photographer, David Noble, this image is a testament to the affordable and entertaining holidays that Butlin's offered to families during this era. The photograph captures the bustling energy of the camp after dark, with holidaymakers clad in their best holiday attire, enjoying the myriad of activities on offer. The fairground rides, illuminated in a riot of colors, loom large against the night sky, their lights casting long, dramatic shadows on the ground. The merry-go-round, with its galloping horses and twirling carousel, is a particular highlight, its vibrant hues and intricate details adding a sense of whimsy and wonder to the scene. In the foreground, a group of children, dressed in their pyjamas, gather around a campfire, roasting marshmallows and sharing stories with each other. Their laughter and excitement are palpable, adding to the sense of community and camaraderie that was a hallmark of Butlin's holiday camps. The photograph also features a number of entertainers, including a magician and a troupe of acrobats, who are performing for the delight of the holidaymakers. The magician, with his top hat and cape, is in the midst of performing a trick, his assistant looking on with a mixture of awe and amusement. The acrobats, suspended in mid-air, perform a daring and graceful routine, their bodies twisting and turning in perfect harmony. Overall, "Butlinland Skegness - Night Scene" is a stunning and evocative photograph that captures the essence of a bygone era, when affordable holidays and communal entertainment brought families together and created memories that would last a lifetime.
