Martello 'Sticker Style' bottle opener

Caravan owner's child? or visitor to the park in the 80s - you would have had one of these badges - usually with your caravan number on. Ours has the membership card design in the middle.

Originating as the Southcliffe Trailer Camp, The Martello Caravan Park was established by Douglas Garton, a Colchester based transport contractor, along with Florence Garton and Kate Norfolk.

The Gartons' son Robin, later provided the entertainment at the Martello with his band.  Robin also ran a Martello Studios from the basement of the Martello tower on-site, producing jingles, advertisements, recordings, even recording his own band's singles on the Big T / Martello label.

Many other entertainers would appear over the course of the years at the Martello as well as Robin's much loved dance band; the Benny Harris Set, Bryan and Charlie, and later Bryan and Tom (after Charlie sadly passed away).

Our bottle openers are magnetic and you can keep them next to the cold ones on the fridge.

Presented on an Oh My Naze! backing card.
