Butlins Before the late 1800's Skegness was a small fishing village. In the 1890's a rail line was run from Boston to Skegness and that made it possible for the working man to have an inexpensive holiday at the beach. It was in the 1930's that it actually became a resort area when Butlins was born. Butlins is an institution in Britain and almost everybody has either been there or dream of going there.
