Description
The building is a former holiday chalet, now serving as a gardeners' office, constructed around 1936. It features a timber frame with asbestos panels and a slate roof that has overhanging eaves and bargeboards. The structure is single storey with a three-bay front, and the projecting gable is supported by corbelled timber brackets. The central entrance consists of a half-glazed panelled door, which is flanked by tall two-light glazing bar casements. On either side, there are single similar windows. This building is notable as the last remaining chalet from the original pre-war site built by Sir William Butlin, marking the first holiday camp in Britain. It opened on Easter 1936, accommodating 500 campers who paid £2.10 each for a week's holiday. During the Second World War, the camp was repurposed by the Royal Navy as a recruit training establishment known as HMS Royal Arthur.
