For a
typical scene
of daily activity around
the
outdoor pool,
take a look at this YouTube footage, shot at Butlins Filey in
1956.
[Please note that the second clip is claimed to be Filey 1957, but it was actually shot at Butlins Ayr.]

As
Redcoats
weren't allowed to dance together, this is probably a demonstration. |

Shirley Willoughby
went on to do the 1957
and
1958 seasons at the Butlins' Hotels, Margate.
Unfortunately, the photos she had taken there have been lost.
At Margate she met and then married John Norman. Sadly, John has since
passed
on.
So, if you have any photos of Shirley and/or John, please email me and
I
will pass them on.
