Looking at the cars and the style of clothes, I would say 1930's.

I have a few taken at Skeggy similiar to this and would say early 1950's but could be wrong :) The chap on the right is dressed like my father in one of my photos - white shoes - and mum's dress is the same length as the one in the photo.

I'd put it in the mid-40's - just because the cars remind me of an Austin Big 7 I once owned, and the man on the far right reminds me of my grandfather!

I would tend to agree with Tricia and put it early 50s.
        Here are a couple of links to postcards of Skeggy and a site that celebrates the history of Butlins

Hell all,
I was hoping that you might think it was early 1950's because that is when I lived in one of those hotels as a child.
Sue.....
Thankyou for your time on this.........

Hi, Denn,

Butlins, Butlins - who needed Butlins!

My Auntie ran a boarding house in Skeggy in the 50's and 60's ;D

Yeh!
       We used to stay in rented caravans mostly although I do remember staying in a boarding house at Rhyll one year when Mum must have had a bit more cash than normal. I never got to Butlins but I thought the site was interesting though.
