WONDERFUL 1959 BFI FILM OF SALTDEAN'S OCEAN HOTEL!

The British Film Institute (BFI) have just released this gem from its movie archives!

It features Saltdean's wonderful Butlin's Ocean Hotel in all its 1950s glory!

Nicknamed 'the honeymoon hotel' due to the many newly wed couples who spent their first night of wedded bliss there, the Ocean was holiday camp supremo Billy Butlin's favourite acquisition and became the administrative centre for his leisure empire.

How wonderful I used to work there as a receptionist and the tales I could tell are hilarious!
