Jubilee Specials Range - History

Since 2015, we have produced our own Hillandale Caravan Parks range of holiday homes based on production models from leading manufacturers. By commissioning our own models, we have stipulated higher specification and negotiated keen wholesale prices, which have reflected in our retail prices. 

We offer 5 bespoke models from three manufacturers, Willerby, Atlas Leisure Homes and Victory Leisure Homes.

Our special range is branded under the name of Jubilee, with model names of Beetle, Butterfly, Dragonfly, Honeybee, and Ladybird.

The name Jubilee reflects the history of our company. Jubilee Caravans Ltd began in 1947, changed its name in 1972 to D & D Lloyd Jones Securities Ltd, until 2017 when it became Hillandale Caravan Finance Ltd.  In 1948, the name of Lickhill Manor Ltd was Jubilee Bus Bodies Ltd, the name changed in 1955. As of 2025, the company was renamed Hillandale Caravan Parks. 

Both Jubilee Caravans Ltd and Jubilee Bus Bodies Ltd were manufacturers jointly based at Bridge Works, Holloway Bank in Wednesbury, then Staffordshire. 

The historic reason for the name Jubilee, is that the business was founded in 1935, being the silver jubilee year of King George V & Queen Mary. 

During the business's early years, they manufactured caravans and bus bodies, however, during World War II production changed to construction in aid of the war effort, in particular, wooden framework for aircraft and gliders, also ambulances and trailers. 

After the war, production reverted to caravan manufacture, particularly in view of accommodation shortage; output soon centred on leisure caravans, at which time the models were named after various insects, such as the Dragonfly, hence the reason for using insect names now. 

In 1956 the business’ retail venture set up under the name of Hillandale Caravans Ltd, with its sales depot situated on the opposite side of the road to the Jubilee factory.
