Rough Seas at Bognor, 1900 - A Glimpse into the Coastal Charms of Yesteryears
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time with this print from the John Fletcher Collection, housed at West Sussex Record Office. Taken in 1900, it offers a mesmerizing view of Bognor town from its iconic pier, looking westward. Transporting us to an era steeped in Victorian and Edwardian elegance, this snapshot encapsulates the essence of a bygone coastal paradise. The image showcases the rugged beauty of Sussex's shoreline as tumultuous waves crash against sturdy groynes that dot the sandy beach. The sight is both awe-inspiring and humbling; nature's power on full display. Amidst this untamed scene stand quaint houses and buildings that line the coast, their architectural charm adding character to an already picturesque setting. As we gaze upon this nostalgic vista, we are reminded of simpler times when seaside holidays were cherished moments for families seeking respite from bustling city life. The black-and-white hues lend an air of nostalgia to the image while preserving its timeless appeal. This print serves as a testament to West Sussex County Council's commitment to preserving our rich heritage. It invites us to reflect on how much has changed over more than a century while marveling at how some elements have remained constant – like our enduring fascination with the sea's majestic allure
