HISTORY: Campsite established by the Rev. and Mrs Skinner following their daughter's death from TB in 1922. The purpose of the camp was to provide poor Bristol families with the opportunity to holiday in the countryside. The building reflects attempts made during the 1920s to address social problems, particularly a preoccupation with improving health and fitness; demonstrated by the presence of the verandah and large window openings.
An early example of the philanthropic establishment of holiday camp accommodation.
