These appear to be the only substantial sign, apart from the large British Pilot pub, of the pre-war plans for a major holiday resort here. The branch railway to serve this was opened in 1932 and terminated just behind this block. It closed in 1961. The resort never developed in the way planned and has now turned itself into extensive mobile home parks, with not a great deal of conventional housing.
