Warners Seaton Holiday Camp

Long before the arrival of Butlins or Pontins holiday camps, Captain Harry Warner opened his first holiday camp in 1931 on Hayling Island. 

Warners in Seaton, South Devon was opened in 1935 and continued under that name until it was taken over by Haven Holidays in the 1980's. 

Apart from the war years during WW2, the camp site remained in use until its closure and subsequent demolition in 2009. 

During the war it became an internment camp for German nationals already in the country, as well as POWs and some captured Nazis. Later it was used for the build-up of troops as 'D' Day approached (including the Free Czechs & Free Polish Forces, the Free Spanish Army and some from the USA).
