Description

Bognor Regis is today a thriving but relaxing seaside resort.

Illustrated with over 200 images this fascinating book depicts the growth and changes to the town and its surrounding villages from its earliest origins up to the 1970s.

Bognor was founded in 1787 by Sir Richard Hotham who was looking for an area for his retirement.

His legacy lives on in the town where he was instrumental in the development of splendid Georgian buildings.

King George V bestowed the name Regis to the town when he convalesced there in 1929 as recognition of the ambience, facilities and general well-being he enjoyed in and around the area.

As well as having one of the oldest piers in Britain the town is known for Billy Butlin and the impact he made to bring bucket-lads of holiday makers to the resort.

Visitors and residents old and new will take equal pleasure in reading this book at leisure, looking at the people and the buildings over the centuries that have made Bognor Regis what it is today.
