Barry Island - Butlins Holiday Camp - One of the dining suites packed for lunch - August 1975 - *A NEW era in the history of Barry Island has been put on hold. Councillors last night decided to visit the resort to examine more closely the ambitious redevelopment plans for the Pleasure Park. It was a rainy day on Barry Island which gave Billy Butlin the inspiration he needed to begin his holiday camp empire. Realising that holidaymakers and day-trippers had nowhere to go if it rained, Butlin came up with the idea of providing accommodation and all their entertainment under one roof. The same principle has driven Barry Island businessman Ian Rogers whose plans to transform the Barry Island Pleasure Park into an undercover leisure, housing and retail complex went before the Vale councilis planning committee last night. The park lies within the Barry Marine Conservation Area and the plans, if approved, would be the most significant development at the resort since the Butlins holiday camp opened in the 1960s
