FRANK’S WAR
Rustington Heritage Association, Rustington
A talk by Matthew Jones (Assistant County Archivist) on the Second World War Home Front in Bognor Regis. When war broke out, photographer Frank L’Alouette was unable to join up due to a heart condition, but he obtained a Ministry of Information Permit and was able to capture some of the wartime events in and around Bognor Regis. His several hundred photographs show the impact and the experiences of Bognor Regis as a town and community during the war. The West Sussex Record Office has held Frank’s collection since 2012 and Matthew Jones will show a selection of these images in his presentation, which follows the RHA AGM.
Entry is free for paid up members of Rustington Heritage Association. Visitors £5 (cash only) payable at the door. All admissions subject to availability of seats on arrival. Why not become an RHA member? Just £15 per person per annum for free entry to all our talks in 2026.

MAGNUS VOLK AND HIS AMAZING RAILWAYS An illustrated talk by Ian Gledhill
Rustington Heritage Association, Rustington
Volk’s Electric Railway is a familiar sight in Brighton, running along the beach from near the Palace Pier towards the Marina, but the story of the man behind it is less well known. Magnus Volk was a true pioneer of all things electrical, and he built not one but two electric railways in Brighton. One – the short lived “Daddy Long Legs” - is long gone, but the original railway, opened in 1883, is still going strong and is now officially the oldest working electric railway in the world. This talk by Ian Gledhill tells the story of the railways and the man who built them.
Entry is free for paid up members of Rustington Heritage Association. Visitors £5 (cash only) payable at the door. All admissions subject to availability of seats on arrival. Why not become a member? Just £15 per person per annum for free entry to all our talks in 2026.
Please note this is an evening meeting, so if you’re unable to attend our monthly afternoon meetings, perhaps we’ll see you this time? There will also be an afternoon meeting on 14th May, on a different topic – details to follow.
