This busy 1967 view at Pontins South Devon Holiday Camp, Paignton, looks across the outdoor pool towards a large crowd of spectators gathered around the water’s edge and on the stepped brick terraces behind. The poolside building on the right has a notably modern look, with tall vertical windows, brick piers, balcony rails and full-height curtains, while more holidaymakers lean out from the upper floor to watch whatever is happening below. The scene is packed with useful period detail, from the children sitting along the pool rim to the mixture of bright summer clothing, cardigans, jackets and patterned dresses among the crowd. More than a simple bathing scene, this photograph captures the pool as a social focal point of the camp, where spectators, families and day-to-day entertainment all came together on a summer afternoon.
