More about this scene
From the beginning of the 19th century most resorts had bathing machines in which bathers could change while being dragged into the sea, initially by horses and later by winches. Bathing machines were still very popular at Bognor in 1890 - it was not until the Edwardian era that people changed and swam from the beach.

I am the daughter of Charles and Joyce Munday, both deceased; my two sisters and I grew up with the caravan park as our playground. Dad grew sunflowers all along the front of Monday's caravan park and we also owned the Green Topper Cafe just across from the caravans. I was born in Sudley Road in 1941 and I went to Villa Maria Catholic School... wonderful memories.
