This fascinating 1969 view captures the original indoor swimming pool at Butlin’s Holiday Camp, Bognor Regis, one of the resort’s most memorable attractions during the golden age of the British seaside holiday. Opened as part of Sir Billy Butlin’s final holiday camp in 1960, the pool occupied the upper floor of the Regency Building and overlooked the beach through its enormous windows. One of its most distinctive features was the jungle-inspired décor, with colorful plastic parrots and cascading artificial foliage suspended from the ceiling—a whimsical design that became a familiar sight at many Butlin’s indoor pools and remains fondly remembered by generations of holidaymakers.
Reimagined in a painterly style from a genuine vintage color photograph, this Butlin’s Bognor Regis canvas print celebrates one of Britain’s most iconic holiday destinations. The original Regency Building was demolished in 1986 and replaced the following year by the modern Splash water complex, which continues to welcome visitors today, making scenes like this impossible to recreate. Perfect for anyone searching for Butlin’s wall art, Bognor Regis prints, vintage holiday camp decor, 1960s British seaside prints, or nostalgic UK travel art, this ready-to-hang canvas is an ideal gift for former Butlin’s guests and collectors of classic British holiday memories.
Image style: Painterly oil-painting-inspired finish
Genuine Vintage Photographs, Enhanced for Modern Walls
Every Places Remembered canvas print begins with a genuine historic color photograph from our private archive. Each image is carefully restored to revive faded color, remove age-related imperfections and improve clarity while preserving the recognizable location, original composition and nostalgic atmosphere of the scene.
Some photographs receive a bold, oil-painting-inspired finish, while others remain closer to their original photographic appearance. We do not create fictional scenes or invent places that never existed. The original photograph always remains at the heart of the finished artwork because we believe history should be respected, not rewritten.
Some designs may show the appearance of brushstrokes, painted texture or raised detail, but the finished artwork is printed flat onto the canvas.
Premium Ready-to-Hang Canvas Prints
Each design is printed on matte, non-reflective textured canvas with a premium coating that produces rich color, sharp detail and a polished finish. The canvas is printed using UL Certified non-toxic inks and hand-stretched over a durable 3/4" (2 cm) pine frame sourced from renewable forests.
The artwork is softly mirrored around the edges so the image continues naturally when viewed from the side. Each canvas also includes a sawtooth bracket installed on the back, allowing it to be displayed straight from the box.
Exclusive to Places Remembered
Every print is created from a genuine vintage photograph in our own private archive. We own the original slides or negatives and the rights to the images, making these restored canvas designs exclusive to Places Remembered.
Our photographs are scanned directly from the original film whenever possible, helping preserve their authentic color, detail and historic character.
