At the Frontier by HOPE DUBE Read by John Weslbrook
'Like the NATO base that proclaims "Peace is our Profession", the flag-poles flutter "Butlinland is Freedomland". The motto on the wall, "Our true intent is all for your delight" is a quote from Midsummer Night's Dream.' Ray Gosling
A thoughtful cruise around holidays and holiday camps conducted by Ray Gosling.
Billy Butlin was the man for the time. Billy Butlin - a comfortable name, a winner's name. Like Billy Bunter, he would open up the tuck shop and like Colonel Sanders of a later age, he would be clean and finger-lickin' good.'
Under the slogan 'a week's holiday for a week's wage' Billy Butlin opened his first holiday camp at Skegness in 1936. By 1939 there were over 100 similar camps. With the help of Harry Thompson and the BBC Sound Archives, Ray Gosling looks at life in holiday camps and the changes Billy Butlin wrought in British seaside life.
