Description/Abstract:

This essay was published in the book documenting Anna Fox's photographic project 'Resort 1: Butlin's Bognor Regis.' Dr Roni Brown's enduring interest in Butlin's was inspired by her summer spent working in the English coastal resort of Bognor Regis in 2008 and the studies she has made subsequently of the design and experience of the Butlin's holiday. This experience, she argues, poses a series of contrasts (visual, social, cultural) and challenges to our understanding of the Butlin's brand and its role in the history of British leisure, coastal design and working class culture. Roni supported the curatorial process of Fox's work 'Resort' commissioned by Butlin's Bognor Regis and Pallant House Gallery in 2011.
