About Bognor Regis - show infohide info
Bognor Regis is in the county of West Sussex, and is one of England’s seaside resort towns, home to a Butlin’s holiday camp. Bognor Regis started life as a small Saxon village named Bognor, and made a living through fishing and smuggling. Crops of wheat and barley were grown, and cows, sheep and pigs were raised. It was until the 18th century that Bognor began to grow. It was converted into a resort by Richard Hotham and developed over the next hundred years. Queen Victoria also stayed in Bognor several times in her childhood in the 1820's and was said to have had happy memories of the place. In 1902 a pavilion opened at the shore end of the pier, and in 1909 Bognor’s first cinema opened, followed by the Kursaal in 1911. The Kursaal was an entertainment centre with a roller skating rink, a theatre, shops and tearoom. This was demolished in 1975. In 1909 Bognor council had been forced to sell the pier, and it saw another theatre built on it in 1912. Housing development along Bognor’s coast took place after 1918. King George V paid a visit to the Bognor resort in 1929, and the title of Bognor Regis was granted to the town. Bognor Regis began to suffer in the 1960s and 1970s due to decline in popularity of the British seaside, and more accessibility to holidays abroad. During this time however, Bognor attempted to regenerate the area with slum clearance. A 1960 survey showed at least 364 houses in the urban district had no bathrooms and 413 had no inside toilet. Nowadays, the Butlin’s holiday remains in Bognor Regis, and an annual Birdman competition is held in summer. Entrants create their own human-powered flight contraption and attempt to fly from the pier, the winner being the person to “fly� the furthest.
