Butlins Filey, Before And After Closure

I wanted to make a video to push my video editing skills, I have watched a lot of Butlins Filey videos and find the history of it very interesting. I'm too young to remember the camp but I did go to Primrose Valley as a child and have visited the Skegness Butlins so I can imagine what Filey would have been like in its prime. It's a shame more of it couldn't have been saved, I think it would have regained popularity if it was still there today.

I used Google earth Pro to look at historical satellite images of the site and see how its changed over the years, I'm surprised how long the land was empty, its only really over the last 10 years that it has been used.

If you have any memories of Butlins Filey feel free to leave a comment.
