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].

it as belonging to Holy Trinity. Link.
