EDITORS COMMENTS
Bognor Regis: A Glimpse into the Past - The Parade, Bognor Regis, Sussex, 1905 Step back in time with this photograph of The Parade in Bognor Regis, Sussex, taken in the year 1905. The image, looking west, offers a rare and intriguing glimpse into the history of this popular English seaside resort town. The Parade, a grand promenade, stretches along the coastline, lined with elegant Victorian and Edwardian buildings. The architecture of the era is evident in the ornate details of the structures, showcasing the opulence and grandeur of the time. The buildings, painted in a variety of pastel hues, stand proudly against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, with the crisp white sails of boats in the harbor adding to the picturesque scene. The photograph also reveals the bustling activity of the town, with people going about their daily business. Horse-drawn carriages and carts can be seen making their way along the promenade, while others are parked along the side of the road, waiting to be hired. The sound of laughter and chatter can be heard as children play on the beach, and the aroma of freshly cooked fish and chips wafts through the air from the nearby stalls. Bognor Regis, originally a small fishing village, had begun to develop as a popular seaside resort in the late 19th century. The construction of the pier in 1866 and the opening of the railway station in 1864 had brought an influx of visitors to the town. The Parade, with its grand buildings and beautiful sea views, was a symbol of the town's prosperity and growth. This photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a fascinating insight into the history of Bognor Regis and the way of life in a seaside town at the turn of the 20th century. It is a reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape this charming English town to this day.
