Journey by Open Top Bus


Bognor from the bus is the subject of this interesting and observant film from the early 1980s.

The seaside resort of Bognor Regis, as seen from the top of a Southdown tour bus, is the subject of this 9.5mm film from 1983. In it we see a variety of views, filmed in a fly-on-the-wall style, which show how the town can still attract large numbers of holidaymakers when the weather's right. We see crowded beaches, bowling greens and the Butlins Holiday Park, as well as outlying villages like Felpham. The film ends with seafront illuminations and fireworks.
