Here are the details of maps for Bognor Regis & Felpham:
We have published more than 1,800 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a group in Sussex. The maps are highly detailed. They are taken from the OS 1:2,500 (or 25 inch) maps and reduced to about 15 inches to the mile. Each covers an area of a mile and a half by a mile. They show streets with individual houses, tram tracks, railway tracks and even signals, factories, wharves and such details as fountains and water troughs. They will provide hours of fascination for historians and genealogists. The maps are neatly folded and each includes a specially written introduction to the area. Maps can be purchased on our On-line Mapshop where further information about titles is given. Or visit The Index Page for a full list to the series and details of Prices.
Here are the details of maps for Bognor Regis & Felpham:
In 1896 this pleasant seaside town was simply called 'Bognor'. In 1929, however, King George V came to Craigwell House (a mile west of the town and beyond our map) to recuperate after a life threatening illness, and he subsequently gave Bognor UDC permission to rename the town Bognor Regis. Our 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, Convalescent Homes. To the east is Felpham - where William Blake lived for a while - and features here include St Mary's church, Black Windmill, Turret House. On the reverse there is a list of private residents from a Bognor directory entry.
