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 & beyond this map) to recuperate after a life threatening illness & 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 & the Norfolk Hotel eastward to Felpham, & from the shoreline northward to Upper Bognor. Features include the railway terminus, Steyne, Waterloo Square, West Street, High Street, pier, Assembly Rooms, Bersted Lodge & Convalescent Homes. To the east is Felpham
- where William Blake lived for a while
- & features here include St Mary`s church, Black Windmill & Turret House. On the reverse is a list of private residents from a Bognor directory. About the Alan Godfrey Editions of the 25” OS Series Selected towns in Great Britain & Ireland are covered by maps showing the extent of urban development in the last decades of the 19th & early 20th century.

London has always been home to outsiders. To people who won`t, or can`t, abide by the conventions of respectable society. For close to two centuries these misfit individualists have had a name. They have been called Bohemians. This book is an entertaining, anecdotal history of Bohemian London. A guide to its more colourful inhabitants. Rossetti & Swinburne, defying the morality of high Victorian Engl&. Oscar Wilde & Aubrey Beardsley in the decadent 1890s. The Bloomsburyites & the Bright Young Things. Dylan Thomas, boozing in the Blitz, & Francis Bacon & his cronies, wasting time & getting wasted in 1950s Soho. It`s also a guide to the places where Bohemia has flourished. The legendary Cafe Royal, a home from home to artists & writers for nearly a century. The Cave of the Golden Calf, a First World War nightclub run by the Swedish playwright August Strindberg`s widow. The Colony Room, the infamous drinking den presided over by the gloriously foul-mouthed Muriel Belcher, & the Gargoyle Club in Dean Street where the artistic avant-garde mixed with upper-crust eccentrics. The pubs of Fitzrovia where the painters Augustus John & Nina Hamnett rubbed shoulders with the occultist Aleister Crowley & the short-story writer Julian Maclaren-Ross, wearing mirror sunglasses & clutching a silver-topped Malacca cane, held court for his acolytes & admirers. The story of Bohemian London is one of drink & drugs, sex & death, excess & indulgence. It`s also a story of achievement & success. Some of the finest art & literature of the last two centuries has emerged from Bohemia. Nick Rennison`s book provides a lively & enjoyable portrait of the world in which Bohemian Londoners once lived. ...
