EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of West Parade in Bognor, circa 1930, transports us back to a bygone era of seaside charm and nostalgia. The rough sea crashes against the shore, creating a dramatic backdrop for the bustling scene captured on camera.
In the foreground, a classic motor car can be seen navigating through the crowded street, with pedestrians strolling along the promenade. The lively atmosphere is palpable as people go about their day, enjoying the fresh sea air and picturesque views.
Bognor was already a popular seaside town in West Sussex during this time period, drawing visitors from near and far to its sandy beaches and vibrant waterfront. The view from the pier offers a unique perspective of this beloved coastal destination, showcasing both its natural beauty and vibrant community spirit.
The image itself is an illustration by Alfred Robert Quinton (1853-1934), reproduced as a postcard and published by J Salmon. Known for their high-quality prints capturing scenes of British life, J Salmon has preserved this snapshot of Bognor's past for future generations to enjoy.
As we gaze upon this historic photograph from The J Salmon Image Archive curated by Tonie and Valmai Holt at Mary Evans Prints Online, we are reminded of simpler times spent by the sea - where memories were made against the backdrop of crashing waves and salty breezes.
