BOGNOR REGISBognor Regis grew when the station opened in 1864. This seaside resort was developed by Sir Richard Hotham. In 1929 the area was chosen by advisors to King George V, for his recuperation, which led to its regal suffix by royal consent. Butlins has been in the town since the 1930s. The beautiful and historic Picturedrome cinema is just outside the station. Also close to the station is Hotham Park, with its many attractions, including a miniature railway. The beach is a ten minute walk from the station.
