How to use this part of the website

Using Google Maps or Google Earth, we can see Butlin's Mosney over the years. Below are photos from Google Earth showing you a lot of details of the former campsite and giving you a great insight into the former Butlins camp. 

Each photo has a copyright credit under each one. This is done in accordance with the rules specified at this link. I am thankful to be able to show these screenshots, which were taken using Google Earth (click on these words to see more) for historic education. 

2013 Butlins Mosney

As expected, you can see that the outside swimming was removed however, the majority of the chalets remain in place and the entertainment buildings are still standing

2016 Butlins Mosney

The 2016 photo does not show a great deal of change. The pathways on the left-hand side are fader, maybe due to mother nature growing over them. Two new green squares above this, otherwise not much as changed in the three years since these photos.

2017 Butlins Mosney

Not much has changed in a year as the former Butlins Mosney camp remains as it was in 2013.

A sharper image with the details of the pathway area on the left having issues with grass otherwise, again not much change.

2019 Butlins Mosney

A major change to the camp can be seen in 2019 as one of the entertainment buildings is either demolished and replaced with a new building or had a new roof added.  You can see it here with a white and new roof. There is also a new tennis court that has been added, a zoom-in is further down

Not much has changed in the last year at the former Butlins Mosney camp

The battle of the grass, in what I suspect to be the former outside swimming pool (I am unsure if this is the case) seems to be a constant pain to keep for the former site as shown in each photo.

This was taken during the time when we had the continuous hot weather, as you can see by the lake being dry on the right-hand side. Interesting that the pathway on the left has now got road markings, a zoom-in is below. 

Changes - Left - 2017, Right - 2019

As you can see from the photos above, this building has had some upgrades

Who and What is Butlin's Memorabilia Website
The Butlins Memorabilia website was originally established as a place on the internet where people could view Mark Banks' Butlins collections. As a passionate enthusiast of the brand, Mark took the initiative to explore the extensive history that led to the website's transformation. Now, the Butlins Memorabilia site has matured into a historical education platform, demonstrating to visitors the meaningful ways in which Butlins has fostered joy and created unforgettable memories.

Are you the official Butlins Archive?
There exists only ONE official website that represents Butlins and that is located at www.butlins.com. The Butlins Memorabilia website is NOT the official archive of Butlins, nor does it serve as the authentic historical record of this extraordinary company. Butlins and their respective parent company have no role in the development of this site and have not participated in its creation. The singular official source for all Butlins information is the one indicated above. This site is strictly a fan-created platform, and any material presented here should be viewed as unofficial. Butlins and their esteemed parent company have NOT reached out to me to create this site, nor have they requested me to promote them. I undertake this effort solely to demonstrate my appreciation for their remarkable name and brand.

The Untold Stories of Butlin's
An exciting addition to the website is the section titled "Untold Stories of Butlin's," which includes a range of personal stories. These narratives have been contributed by members of the Butlins Memorabilia social media groups, who have shared their individual experiences at Butlin's. It is important to understand that these stories are not sanctioned by the official company but are personal recollections from the individuals, as indicated on the page. The accounts shared reflect the magical atmosphere of Butlin's and the memorable moments it has inspired.

Can I get in touch with you about my situation at Butlins for some help?
For any issues related to bookings, inquiries on how to use the app, or to file a complaint, it is essential to follow the official procedure by contacting Butlins directly. Unfortunately, the Butlins Memorabilia website is not equipped to handle these matters, and no assistance can be provided through this platform. Complaints must be directed to Butlins, as they are the only ones capable of addressing them; this site lacks the direct control or involvement necessary to assist. The sole website that can provide help is the Butlin's official site, www.butlins.com. Everything you need can be found there, including their contact page, which is available on this link, and assistance with the Butlins app can be found on this link.

Google adverts and policies
There is a single Google advertisement located at the top of each page. I have created a privacy policy available at this link and a cookie policy at this link, which aim to provide further clarification regarding this section of the website, with the intention of enhancing your understanding of how this operates.
