Duporth
Duporth (also Duporth Holiday Village) was situated on Porthpean Road, just outside of St Austell in south Cornwall, England, UK. For over 50 years, it was a holiday resort, until its closure in 2006. The site has now been sold to private developers and now contains new houses in the traditional Cornish cottage style.
==History==
Duporth Holiday Village was built on the site of the old Duporth estate and manor which was owned by Charles Rashleigh, who developed Charlestown. The site was sold in 1933 to Seaside Holiday Camps Ltd and the camp opened by the Whitsun of 1934.
During the second world war the camp was requisitioned by the War Office and the Indian Army and American Army were stationed there.〔 After the war it returned to being a holiday camp. Butlins bought the camp in 1972 and it opened as one of their Smaller ''Freshfields'' sites.
In 1985, The Rank Group owner of Butlins at that time, also bought Haven Holidays and certain sites including Duporth rebranded to the sister company (There is some anecdotal evidence that in the early 1980s Duporth was branded under another sister company's name, ''Warner Holiday Camps''. The Manor was demolished in 1989 after it became uneconomical to repair.〔 Duporth was owned by Haven Holidays until the early 2000s, then sold several times into private ownership. The capacity of the park was around 1200, with a combination of chalets and caravans, and self-catering and half board holidays.
