Bognor 1896
Bognor in 1896 in a fascinating series of reproductions of old Ordnance Survey plans in the Alan Godfrey Editions, ideal for anyone interested in the history of their neighbourhood or family. In 1896 this pleasant seaside town was simply called Bognor, but in 1929 King George V came to Craigwell House (a mile west of the town and beyond this map) to recuperate after a life threatening illness and he subsequently gave Bognor UDC permission to rename the town Bognor Regis. The map captures most of this relatively small town (population 8, 142 in 1911) in detail. Coverage stretches from Rock Gardens and the Norfolk Hotel eastward to Felpham, and from the shoreline northward to Upper Bognor. Features include the railway terminus, Steyne, Waterloo Square, West Street, High Street, pier,
Assembly Rooms, Bersted Lodge and Convalescent Homes. To the east is Felpham - where William Blake lived for a while - and features here include St Mary`s church, Black Windmill and Turret House. On the reverse is a list of private residents from a Bognor directory.About the Alan Godfrey Editions of the 25” OS SeriesSelected towns in Great Britain and Ireland are covered by maps showing the extent of urban development in the last decades of the 19th and early 20th century. The plans have been taken from the Ordnance Survey mapping and reprinted at about 15 inches to one mile (1:4, 340). On the reverse most maps have historical notes and many also include extracts from contemporary directories. Most maps cover about one mile (1.6kms) north/south, one and a half miles (2.4kms) across;
adjoining sheets can be combined to provide wider coverage.FOR MORE INFORMATION AND A COMPLETE LIST OF ALL AVAILABLE TITLES PLEASE CLICK ON THE SERIES LINK.
