VILLAGES IN FOCUS

Dear All,

If you have yet to visit the Luna Hut Sauna on The Prom in Bognor, then do give it a try this month. I have been twice. Once with my family (even the teenagers loved it) and once with a friend and it is the perfect way to relax and feel invigorated all at the same time. This beachside warmer is open to everyone over the age of 12 from Thursday to Sunday. Wear your swimming costume, flip flops and towel/robe and let the heat warm your bones as you sit and look out to sea.

I’m not a big fan of cold water but, for me, several sea splashes during the process made the whole experience even better. Otherwise, plenty of deckchairs and water supplies are freely available when you want to cool off. Everyone is incredibly friendly, staff and sauna-goers alike, and it’s a very welcoming community. Give it a go –lunahutsauna.co.uk – you won’t regret it!

My other May recommendations are two free phone apps. Merlin App. Switch it on wherever you hear birdsong and it names the birds singing. Last week it recorded eight different bird species in a hedge chorus by my car. Next up is Arun District Council App. This will help us all support the new food recycling regime and save confusion. Enter your postal address and weekly messages arrive detailing which bins you need to put out the night before a collection. Thank you to artist Laurie Avadis (laurieavadisart.com) for our stunning bluebell front cover. Best wishes, Kate X Villages In Focus magazine is available to collect from Barleys, Middleton-on-Sea and Bersted In Focus from Bognor Regis Library.

LOCAL HISTORY

BY SYLVIA ENDACOTT

Historically we have had some worldwide known companies in Bognor Regis offering employment to thousands of people. The largest company was LEC. In 1942, together with partner Leslie Jull, Charles and Frank Purley LEC purchased a small engineering workshop in Longford Road, Bognor Regis and Longford Engineering Company (L.E.C) was born. Through the war years, the workshop produced munitions as well as developing a refrigeration system.

In 1946 land was purchased at Shripney Road, Bognor to build a bigger, modern factory and they made their first prototype fridge which was an enormous success.

During 1954 the company was renamed Lec Refrigeration Ltd and they established a showroom in Regent Street, London. The company formed a Special Product division in 1956, to build on the success of their domestic fridges, and they started to produce cabinets for hospitals, aircraft and atomic research.

By the mid 1960’s, LEC was floated on the stock market and expanded to Burnley, Oldham and Northern Ireland. In 1973 following Britain’s entry into the common market, a modern factory was acquired in Calais. In 1986 Charles Purley, Founder and Chairman of the board of Directors, was presented with an OBE at Buckingham Palace for his Services to Engineering. Sadly, in October 1991 at the age of board but died that December.

WASHINGTON AND SOUTH DOWNS CIRCULAR WALK

BY SIMON BAKER IRONS

This month’s walk is an 8.2km (5.1 mile) circular route from Washington that climbs up onto the South Downs before looping back through the hamlet of Sullington. This more challenging walk has a steep ascent that takes you to around 205m above sea level.

• The walk begins at the Frankland Arms in the small village of Washington. Built around 1795, the pub is thought to be named after William Frankland, an eccentric local landowner and adventurer known for his farflung travels.

• From here, follow School Lane past the Village Hall to The Street, then turn right towards St Mary’s Church. This historic Anglican church has 12th Century origins and was later reshaped by significant Victorian restoration. It’s well worth pausing to appreciate its character before continuing your walk.

• Just past the church, cross the bridge that carries you safely over the busy A24. Continue straight ahead along the road and onto the path that forms part of the South Downs Way. As the route begins its steady climb, you’ll notice in spring that the banks on either side are thick with wild garlic.

• Follow the South Downs Way up to the ridge, where you’re rewarded with sweeping views. To the north, the landscape stretches across Sussex towards the North Downs and to the south, you can look out over lowlying farmland towards the coast and beyond. From this vantage point you can also enjoy fine views of both Chanctonbury Ring and Cissbury Ring.

• Continue along the ridge in a westerly direction for roughly 1km, then begin your descent on a bridleway leading down the north side of the South Downs towards the hamlet of Sullington. The route first takes you through a field often occupied by curious cows, before joining a chalk track that leads you to the hamlet.

• As you approach Sullington, the church is the first landmark to come into view. St Mary’s Church has Saxon origins and has stood beneath the Downs, sheltered by a grove of ancient yews, since the 12th Century. Look out for the remarkable yew tree estimated to be over 1,300 years old, which far older than the church itself. Just inside, you’ll find a marble effigy of a 13th Century knight, believed to have been damaged during the Civil War.

• Next to the church, you can take a well deserved break in the 16th Century barn, that has been converted into a café. Alongside refreshments, it also has an informative and interactive exhibition exploring the history of Sullington and the long tradition of farming on the Downs.

• To head back to Washington, follow the bridleway from the church eastwards. A short way along this track you’ll pass Barns Farm. During WW2, an army camp stood just to the south of this spot, later becoming a resettlement camp for Polish refugees around 1950.

• Carry on along the bridleway as it leads you back to the A24 bridge crossing. From here, retrace your steps to the Frankland Arms, where you can round off the walk with a well-earned drink or meal.

Marsh Harriers

OUR RESIDENT RAPTORS

BY ALICE MCDOUGALL

In the UK our birds of prey, or ‘raptors’, have had a difficult history with many species being pushed towards extinction. But thanks to the work of the RSPB and other organisations, some species are now flourishing. Here are some you might see at Pagham Harbour and Medmerry:

Look up and you may see a marsh harrier cruising above the reed beds. The male is an intricately coloured bird with a striking plumage of rusty reds, bluey greys, creamy browns; while the larger female is mainly chocolate brown and creamy coloured. Around this time of year, you may see the male marsh harrier doing some impressive aerial acrobatics to attract a mate; or, if already paired up, they may both be ‘dancing’ in the sky to stake out their territory.

Sparrowhawks

If you are lucky enough to see a male sparrowhawk close up, you will notice bars of reddish brown across it’s breast, and rich blueygrey wings; the females are browner but no less beautiful. Despite its small size, the sparrowhawk is a swift and gutsy hunter with incredible tenacity and agility.

Kestrels

This small falcon sports a brown speckled chest (compare with the bars of a sparrowhawk), pointed wings and a black tipped tail. The kestrel has adapted to urban life, and seems unperturbed by the noise of a busy road – you may often see them hovering, relentlessly flapping their wings with eyes fixed on the ground waiting to swoop down to catch their prey –perhaps a vole or mouse.

Red Kites

These magnificent, graceful soaring birds are hard to miss with their reddish brown bodies, huge wingspan of up to 195 cm, and distinctive forked tails. Although more common on the South Downs, you may occasionally see one over Pagham Harbour or Medmerry.

Buzzards

These are the most prolific of our raptors in the UK. You may sense their majesty as they soar high on a thermal, gracefully adrift in the clouds, sometimes in groups of four or five. When high up in the sky, their fan tail is an easy way to distinguish them from kites.

So why not come and spend some time at Pagham Harbour and Medmerry RSPB – you may be surprised by what you see. To find out more about the events on a Pagham Harbour and Medmerry this May: https://events.rspb.org.uk/paghamharbour

SPRING INTO ACTION

BY FELPHAM FASHION GURU VICKY BOOKER

Now we're at the ‘in-betweeny’ weather stage, big winter coats are out, but it's not quite nice enough to go without; that's where the lighter weight spring jacket comes in.

This season there seem to be more options to choose from than usual – the jacket is having a bit of a moment! So here are a few of my tops picks from the current high street that will take you from Sunday walk to lunch or drinks in town …

The Bomber

One of my favourite styles is the bomber jacket. Easy to throw over jeans or choose one of the more creative prints for a statement occasion look. The classic bomber has a round neck and shorter length, but if that neckline doesn’t suit you there are some collared or funnel-neck versions too. This neutral toned denim bomber by Friend’s Like These (right) has a summery feel and ticks the stripe trend too. Ecru Stripe Denim Bomber – £45 by Friend’s Like These.

The Trench

The other everywhere trend, albeit it's a classic is the trench coat. These are generally quite lightweight, traditionally a little longer in length and neutral tones. But this season there are bolder colours, architectural shapes and shorter and cropped versions, which work well for this season. If you like to make a statement, this neon colour block trench by fun brand Scamp & Dude (left) is the perfect choice. I love their ‘Fashion as a Force for Good’ message too – also available in a khaki and orange colourway. Navy and Stone Colour block Trench by Scamp & Dude £199.

The Puff or Balloon Hem Jacket

With memories of the 80’s puffball skirt in my mind (yes – this hemline trend is a thing for skirts and trousers too!), the balloon hem jacket seems a wearable option. I found this amazing faux leather version in Tesco's F + F collection (right), and it looks much more luxe in real life than the £35 price tag might suggest. Also available in black. Faux Leather Bubble Hem Jacket in Cream by F+F – £35.

The Sporty Parka

Finally, the short parka is a great spring jacket and brings the practicality as well as the style. Perfect over more casual looks, there’s a host of colours and styles to choose from. I liked this Elements parka by Next (left) in Red for a pop of colour, its waterproof, and it has a hood to cope with the inevitable spring showers! Elements Waterproof Parka in Red by Next – £68.

If you’d like some help to find the perfect jacket, or have any other style questions, please do get in touch!

PAN-FRIED GNOCCHI WITH BROCCOLI PESTO

BY MICHEL ROUX JR

Fast and tasty green veg, then griddled for that smoky taste, these ready-made gnocchi are fried for extra crunch and served with a homemade chilli broccoli pesto.

Ingredients for the pesto

350g/12oz broccoli (about 1 head), roughly chopped.

100ml/3½fl oz olive oil, plus extra to loosen if desired.

For the vegetables

300g/10½oz green vegetables such as asparagus, purple. sprouting broccoli, courgettes and baby leeks.

50-100g/2-3½oz toasted pine nuts, to taste.

1 garlic clove, roughly chopped.

1 green chilli, finely chopped.

50g/1¾oz parmesan cheese (or vegetarian alternative), freshly grated.

Salt and pepper, to taste.

olive oil, for drizzling and frying.

1 pack shop-bought gnocchi.

3 slices pancetta, baked or grilled, to garnish (optional).

Method

• Blanch the broccoli in boiling salted water for 3-4 minutes, or until tender. Drain and immediately plunge into ice water to stop it from cooking any further. Drain again and add to a blender with the olive oil, toasted pine nuts, garlic, chilli and a good grating of parmesan cheese. Blend to a paste to make pesto. Taste and season with salt and pepper and add more olive oil if needed to get the consistency you like.

• To cook the vegetables, heat a griddle pan to hot. Drizzle the green vegetables with olive oil and cook on a griddle pan. (You can use any vegetables you like for this, but if you choose root veg or anything bigger than asparagus you might need to blanch it first to soften before griddling.)

• Heat a good amount of olive oil in a frying pan and tip in the gnocchi straight from the pack. Fry until golden-brown all over, so they look like mini roast potatoes.

• Serve up the gnocchi and griddled veg with a good dollop of broccoli pesto. You could also sprinkle over some crumbled pancetta for a crisp, salty garnish.

LOCAL LIVES: WILLIAM J. FLEXMAN (1861-1937)

BY JANE SUMMERVILLE

William J. Flexman was a builder from the Chiswick area of London who, as with several other builders in the early 20th century, was buying land, in Felpham for development.

Having moved from London, William lived with his wife at Mill Cottage on the corner of Sea Road and Snooks Corner, this house having earlier been occupied by Henry Snook (who had run a greengrocery shop on the corner of Sea Road and gave the area its name).

William and his wife had several children, Winifred, Marjorie (later known as “Bun”), Edwin and, I think, another son. Winifred and Bun settled in Felpham, Winifred later living at Abergail, in Clyde Road; and Bun at Victoria Cottage, on the corner of Sea Road and Canning Road. Perhaps Bun’s father had owned the land on which the house was built as he did build in Canning Road. We also know that their brother, Edwin fought and died in action, in the First World War. Specifically, Serjeant Edwin Leslie Flexman of the 7th (Service Battalion) Queen’s Own Royal West Kent Regiment, died on 24 April 1918, aged 28. Edwin was buried at Crucifix Corner Cemetery, Villiers-Bretonneux, in France.

Perhaps Edwin’s death influenced William’s decision to build the Railway Carriages, in Sea Road. I was always told, by a descendant of William, that the Railway Carriages were intended to house survivors from the First World War. The carriages were literally old railway carriages, set on brick piers and given pretty verandas, as the first photograph shows. They had been brought to Bognor by train and then pulled to Felpham by horse and cart.

When built (or erected), the Railway Carriages were apparently only given short-term permission to exist!

William also owned the land which can be seen behind the Railway Carriages in the first photograph, with buildings of Bognor in the distance. In later years, this land was apparently bought through a compulsory purchase order by Bognor Town Council so that Butlins could be built.

ALISON GRIFFITHS MP

Residents across Bognor Regis, Littlehampton and the villages have consistently told me that pollution of our rivers and seas is one of their top priorities. Like you, and as a sea swimmer myself, I am fed up with sewage pollution and paying the price for under performance by Southern Water, the Government and the regulators.

Last month, I wrote that I would be holding a Public Meeting with Southern Water and giving you the opportunity to question them directly. I had a strong response and residents turned out in force, showing just how important this issue is to our community.

But the work does not stop here. I want residents to get clear answers about what is happening and what will change. If you are concerned about sewage pollution, bathing water quality, or rising water bills and want to hear what was said during the meeting, please do sign up on my website: www.alisongriffiths. org.uk/southern-water-public-meeting.

I will keep standing up to Southern Water, and I invite you to join me in continuing to hold them to account.

Elsewhere in the constituency, and on the back of English Tourism Week in March, I joined the re-opening of the Bognor Regis Museum for the summer season. One of the best things about living in our lovely corner of Sussex is the vast array of things to do. Come rain or shine, the museum takes you back to Bognor Regis’ days as a thriving Victorian seaside resort. It is well worth a visit.

I am also delighted to support both Bognor Regis and Littlehampton in putting forward bids for the UK Town of Culture 2028 competition last month. Our area has a rich and distinctive cultural history. From links to artists and writers like Blake and Joyce, to its role in early British film, it has always been a vibrant coastal community.

The beautiful landscape has long inspired creativity, and a huge amount of work has gone in behind the scenes to showcase the creative ambition of the towns for the future.

What stood out to me is that both bids were grounded in local people and the stories they tell about their love for where they live. They reflect the pride we all feel in our coastal towns and the huge amount they have to offer to residents and visitors alike.

I’m proud to represent our wonderful stretch of Sussex coastline, and I’ll continue to champion both towns as they move to the next stage of the competition.

MAY HOROSCOPES

BY LOCAL ASTROLOGER LETICIA PARMER

Pluto brings each of us the unexpected surprises that can make us question who is actually in control of our life! Happily, from May until October, things settle down and become more predictable as Pluto ‘the roller-coaster planet’ will be retrograde. This means we will feel more in the 'driving seat' and less buffeted by change.

ARIES

Friends and large organisations that have caused ripples become less tiresome, more settled, so you can make your social and group plans now.

TAURUS

Career fluctuations and all things to do with your father or family begin to take on a more comfortable tone, so you feel your efforts are worthwhile.

GEMINI

Travel plans and experiences have been somewhat unpredictable with last minute changes and cancellations. Happily, that all settles now.

CANCER

Over recent months you may have been flawed by sudden closures or endings. But this month you get back in control of what you wish to let go of.

LEO

Partnership issues have had you on something of an emotional seesaw. Thankfully, this May all things to do with teamwork become less stressful.

VIRGO

Workload and health may have fluctuated so much lately that you have felt anxious and frustrated. Luckily, this month, you get back in control of both.

LIBRA

You've been on more of a seesaw than usual when it comes to the children and your creative projects. Calmer waters in both areas are at here last.

SCORPIO

It’s been a while since you knew quite what was happening regarding your home and your mother. This May the picture and future become clear.

SAGITTARIUS

Situations regarding a vehicle or your transport may have been unreliable, possibly also a brother or sister. Now you can start to depend on both.

CAPRICORN

Money, security and property have been all at sea for a while – an uncomfortable place for your practical, frugal nature. Now your patience pays off.

AQUARIUS

As Pluto is travelling through your own sign, its wobbly feeling has been very personal in recent months. Now you feel more steady and in control of your life.

PISCES

Essential to Pisces is dream time, but that has been quite unreliable of late. Now you can relax into it and depend once more on your fantastic visionary ability.
