About this title

Synopsis

Contrasting a selection of 45 archive images alongside full-color modern photographs, this book delves into the changing face of the popular seaside resort of Bognor Regis during the last century. Accompanied by detailed and informative captions, the photographs of yesteryear are compared with stunning photographs of the town today taken by members of the Bognor Regis Camera Club. Comparing the fashionable man about town to his modern counterparts and workers of yesteryear with today’s trades-people, as well as discussing sporting events, celebrations, and architecture, this is a wide-ranging look at the town’s colorful history. Bognor Regis Then & Now will delight all local historians and will awaken nostalgic memories for those who used to live, work or visit this part of West Sussex.
