Here's a selection of photos taken during a short walk around Bognor Regis on a breezy November afternoon.

Bognor has retained its impressive railway station, a legacy of its Victorian heyday.

Located at the end of a short branch line from Barnham, the current station opened on 1 June 1864, and managed to survive being blown down in a gale in 1897 and burned down in 1899.

The present station buildings date from 1902.

Sun sculpture on London Road.

Inspired by 'ancient sun masks, the story of Icarus and the great modern seaside tradition of the International Bognor Birdman,' the piece was created by Pete Codling in 2008.

One of Bognor's earliest hotels, the Royal Norfolk dates from the 1830s, and managed to get away with the unauthorised use of the word 'Royal' in its name. Read more on Bognor-History.

Waiting for the train home. Like the Littlehampton branch nearby, Bognor Regis still retains its steam-era semaphore signalling so you'll hear a satisfying clanking of levers before your train arrives.
