(Some of the original chalets are now listed buildings)

[by coincidence, I am reading a book at the moment about a child who grew up near to Skegness and have therefore read quite a lot about Butlins recently. During WW2 it was used by the Navy as a training base and as such renamed HMS Arthur. In one of his broadcasts, Lord Haw-Haw announced that the Germans had sunk HMS Arthur, much to the amusement of the locals)
