Haunting images show abandoned state of once-popular Pontins holiday park... and there's not a Blue Coat in sight





It was once a Pontins Holiday Park filled with boisterous families, but this Norfolk centre has been left derelict.

Haunting photos reveal the abandoned park six years after it finally closed for good.

The former Pontins Holiday Park in Hemsby, Norfolk, played host to more than 2,400 guests in its heyday, but eventually closed to the public in 2008.





Now cottages, go-karting race tracks, games pitches and even the local pub are falling into ruin at the 20-acre site.

The eerie images show how the once-popular ideal of holiday parks, which were launched in the 1940s and became a staple for families over the following 30 years, have quietly become less fashionable.

Now the only visitors to the 'ghost town' are the wildlife that has moved in and the occasional urban explorer keen to re-visit the sense of forgotten holidays.






Pontins Holiday Parks were founded by Fred Pontin in 1946 and enjoyed huge success for decades, even launching the careers of TV stars.

While Butlins workers were known as Red Coats, Pontins had its own Blue Coat entertainers. Even the cult British comedy movie Holiday On the Buses was filmed at the Pontins Holiday Park in Prestatyn.

Stars from Bobby Davro and Shane Ritchie to Bradley Walsh launched their careers at Pontins, with former Steps singer Lisa Scott-Lee also crediting her days as a Blue Coast as the start of her entertaining career.




The parks were sold off several times after 1978 with many closing as holidays abroad became more popular and now only six remain operational.

The land agents for the Hemsby Holiday Park Northern Trust had hoped the site might be developed for residential use but there were objections from local residents and plans were withdrawn.

It remains on the market for tourism and leisure use.





One local who used to work at the camp at the height of it’s popularity said: ‘It’s hard to imagine this place was always packed with people having happy holidays.

‘What gets me most is the silence because it was always so noisy with kids laughing and screaming and everyone enjoying themselves.

‘The same families would come back year after year because they love it here so much. You wouldn’t believe it to look at it now.

‘Now we joke that it looks more like the set of an apocalypse zombie movie when all the people have disappeared.'
