Holidays in the past

In the past, going away on holiday used to be for rich people, only. People did not get paid holidays, except for one or two bank holidays. The idea of the two-day weekend only started in the 1890s when most workers spent time with their families at home or locally. When railways made travel much easier. Poorer people could not afford to take holidays so some took working holidays. For example, they went fruit-picking in the countryside. However, by the early 1900s, the first holiday camps started to appear in Britain. After the war, thousands of families spent their summer holiday at these camps, which were popular until the 1960s in the UK. In the 1960s and 1970s, foreign holidays became more common. Flying was affordable and there was more money to spend; most people also had two weeks' holiday. At the same time, camping also grew in popularity because more and more people had their own cars.
