Description: The photographs within this section were collated from a wide variety of sources (e.g. from Butlin's Photographic Services Ltd, press agencies, private photographic studios, donations by members of the public or former staff members, on loan from Lady Sheila Butlin's private collection) and were arranged by subject. Some albums are also accompanied by supporting papers e.g. competition contestants' details, promotional material, menus, press cuttings/releases or information from the public. Many photos were taken for the company in-house newsletter 'Butlin News' or at the behest of Butlin's PR department.
