Another Bognor mystery was sent in by Peter Boyce who wanted to learn where this
painting was produced. It's by R. O. Dunlop R.A. whose floruit was in the 1950's and 1960's.
He lived near Chichester, and painted widely in Sussex and further afield in southern England. Colin
Waters identified the painting on this website,
and it is called "Old Street, Bognor". Unfortunately, there isn't a thoroughfare called Old Street in Bognor, so this is just a generic old street.
In a fine piece of detective work, Tony Preston has also been looking into this
church. He points out that the website included earlier in this entry also has
an image of a page from a magazine, wherein the painting is shown, with the
title Old Bognor Street, rather than Old Street, Bognor,
supporting my assumption that Old Street as such doesn't exist. It also includes
a hand-written date of 1956 for the painting. He has sent a link (here)
to a website describing the church of St. John the Baptist, built in 1821, with
a tower added circa 1834. The church itself was demolished 1891, but the tower
was left standing until 1961 (i.e. after the painting was made). This
link shows two
postcards (scroll down) of Waterloo Gardens, both showing the church in the
background, a good match for the painting. An
old map shows St. John the Baptist's tower standing on Market Street, and
comparing the painting with the map, I suspect that the view is from what was
then Chapel Street, to the north of Market Street. Note that Chapel Street has
since been re-routed from its original course. [Peter - the email address I have for you is invalid, so I hope you see this].

SW 672 378. A private residence now
stands on the site, but whether this is a conversion from the old chapel, or the
old chapel demolished and the present building put up is unclear. Its appearance
favours the latter. The
National
Archives has references to documents relating to the chapel from 1892-1950.

Mission Room at Brough Hill, a short way
west of Bolton Low Houses. Not indicating precisely which building is meant,
Streetview reveals that the
building was still standing in 2009. We can then determine the grid reference as
NY 2351 4417. A short distance south of the village as the site of a
Friends' Meeting House, NY 2386 4416. The

Percival has advised (Sept 2007) that permission to demolish the dome has been
granted, though the "spire", which he describes as looking like a "crashed
aeroplane" will remain. Despite these intentions, high winds intervened,
and the spire fell in 2009, the rest of the church having been demolished two
years earlier. Some photos of the new church, built in 2008, are available
here.

Christ the King's predecessor was St.
John's Mission Church. It stands on the main road at NZ 3049 3803, and was
built in 1924, and apparently sold in 1967, when the building of Christ the King
was already underway, though it wasn't completed until 1978 (reference

building date of 1883 for this Wesleyan Chapel. TF 0211 6715. © David Regan (2019).
The source previously referred to also says that the chapel was built "next to"
the previous chapel, and became the Sunday School. The 1905-6 O.S. map shows
that the Sunday School was immediately south of the chapel, projecting a little
further forward than the chapel. It can be seen
here on a 2012 Streetview.

Previously in the "Unknown" Section, this old postcard (from Reg Dosell's
Collection) is clearly labelled Church of the Holy Redeemer, Bray. I thought this
was probably the Bray in County Wicklow, since
it has a church of the same name, though different appearance. This
link says the church was given a new facade sometime in the 20th century.
And Janet Gimber has confirmed that this is the correct identification.

25" O.S. map of 1906 shows a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel
at TG 0600 3279. Its
Genuki
entry provides dates of 1812-2014, and advises that it was subsequently
converted to residential use. Down a side-street not visited by the Streetview
van, I think the hipped roof visible in the background of this
2008 Streetview is of the
chapel. The Primitive Methodists also had a
presence in the village, on Hall Street at TG 0632 3200.
Its
My Primitive Methodist entry is a little confusing regarding dates,
so it could be from 1832 or 1857, with conversion in 1972. The building
survives, and it can be seen in this
2008 Streetview.

However, the RCAHMW
entry says "built in 1820 and rebuilt 1888". It also says it was converted
"by 1998". Howard Richter advises that the 1877 O.S. map doesn't show a building
on the current site, though there is a smaller, un-named building a few yards
away. By the 1899 map, this has been demolished, so it's a reasonable assumption
that this was the 1820 chapel. It would have stood about where the yellow bush
is in the photo. SS 9115 8394. All

Grade I listed. The former
Wesleyan Methodist Chapel on Mill Lane has a date-stone for 1901. This
source advises of an earlier chapel of 1815 (enlarged 1856), but doesn't say
if it was at the same location or not.

(2020). The same
source mentions another chapel of 1862 to circa 1930, which stood on Church Road
at TF 3871 4485. Old O.S. maps fail to show the denomination, but the
Genuki entry for the village names it as United Free
Methodist. Its site can be seen
here in a 2019 Streetview.
