Bognor Regis Museum tells the story of the town, from ancient fossils through to the seaside resort created by Sir Richard Hotham. Inside you'll find displays of vintage cameras, fossils, Alice's Vintage Kitchen, the tale of Bathing Machine Proprietor Mary Wheatland, and the Ron Simpson Wireless Collection of old radios. It's a small, volunteer-run museum that welcomes around 10,000 visitors a year and suits those with an interest in local history. The museum is run by the Bognor Regis Local History Society, who also offer membership. It's located in Bognor Regis, close to Bognor Regis station and Bognor Regis East beach, both around 0.4 miles away, with 51 bookable places to stay nearby on BritStays for those wanting to extend their visit.
