Sir William Butlin conceived of its creation based on his experiences at a Canadian summer camp in his youth and by observation of the actions of other holiday accommodation providers, both in seaside resort lodging houses and in earlier smaller holiday campsThe camp began opened in 1936, when it quickly proved to be a success with a need for expansion. The camp included dining and recreation facilities, such as dance halls and sports fields.

  • Remains of the stolen Barbara Hepworth sculpture Two Forms (1969) stolen from Dulwich Park where it was installed for 40 years. Dame Barbara Hepworth DBE (10 January 1903 – 20 May 1975) was an English sculptor. The sculpture which is insured for £500,000 is believed to have been stolen by scrap metal thieves who entered the unprotected park at night on Dec 19th 2011. The bronze piece, called Two Forms (Divided Circle), was cut from its plinth overnight, Trevor Moore of Dulwich Park Friends said. The price it could fetch as scrap metal would only be a tiny fraction of its value as a complete work. Southwark Council is offering a reward for the thieves' arrest and conviction.
