Abstract
ABSTRACTThis essay takes up Alan Sinfield's memory of childhood summers spent at Prestatyn Holiday Camp in Wales. It explores his enjoyment of modern seaside luxury in the post-war period in relationship to issues of class and gender affecting disadvantaged groups in Britain. Conveying not only his own holiday pleasure, but also that of his widowed mother Lucy, Alan's affective image of Prestatyn, set against George Orwell's critique of the new 'pleasure spots', gets to the heart of that cultural conservatism that often accompanied political radicalism in the period.
