Porth Beach Holiday Park — origins and earlier land use

Porth Beach Holiday Park dates its beginnings to 1976. Its own anniversary histories describe expansion from a few caravans and successive generations of the Case family managing the site.

Porth Beach Holiday Park is part of the modern holiday landscape beside Porth. Its anniversary histories date the business to 1976, beginning with a small number of caravans on land bought by Dennis and Rosemary May.

The operator's 2016 account describes adjoining ground being cleared and levelled as pitches increased. It names John and Cathy Case as earlier managers, followed by their son Chris and his wife Katy.

In the fiftieth-anniversary account, Chris and Katy describe former child visitors returning with children and grandchildren. These are the business's own recollections of its development and guests, rather than an independent measure of its economic effects.

The park's history does not establish that a nineteenth-century shipyard occupied the same footprint.
