Flower Delivery to Bognor Regis by Clare Florist

Bognor Regis is small seaside resort town in the county of West Sussex, on the southern coast of England and about 80 miles south west of London. It was once a village of Small fishermen operating small boats from the town’s beaches.

Bognor Regis is one of the oldest recorded Saxon sites in West Sussex. Its name had changed over several years of its history, initially called Bucgan ora meaning Bucge's shore; named after a Saxon woman, later called Buggenore in 1275 and Bogenor in 1405.

Sir Richard Hotham developed the otherwise sandy coastline into a seaside resort and called it Hothampton. The resort greatly expanded and grew with the opening of its station. In 1929, the area received royal recognition when it was chosen by advisors to King George V. There has been an influx of people and businesses since then, with a zoo and amusement park opening in the 1930’s, a holiday camp followed in the 1960’s and more recently, Hotels and modern amenities.

The town has a large town centre, much of which has been made pedestrian friendly, several areas and buildings that still link it to its past. Some examples and prominent landmarks include the Royal Hotel and Hotham Park.
