SKEGNESS

Your archetypical British Seaside Town. The first Butlins Holiday camp was established here in 1935 and is still in operation. 

Only thing I could find worthy of note, was this Art Deco pub, the Ship in Castleton Boulevard. It was very run down at the time, but has since been restored. 

The Ship was originally constructed in the present location in April 1934 at a cost of £20,000 by the Home Brewery Company. This replaced the original building which was on the opposite side of Roman Bank which began life as a thatched cottage, built in 1871
Over the course of time, the Ship changed owners several times until being fully restored to the current look. The building was granted 'Listed Building' status in March 1988.


It has since undergone considerable restoration.
