Once a small fishing hamlet, the origins of modern Bognor Regis (the royal suffix was added in 1929) lie in the attempt by Richard Hotham to develop this part of the south coast as a fashionable resort in the late 18th-century. Hotham's original profession is given in the name of the town's JD Wetherspoon outlet, the Hatter's Inn, while the pub originally called the Railway Inn has recently been renamed the Hothampton Arms in memory of Hotham's preferred name for his resort. The oldest still-trading pub in the town is the William Hardwick, built by 1817 as the New Inn. In what were once the separate villages, now suburbs, of Felpham, Bersted, Pagham, there are inns of greater age, such as the Royal Oak (also known as the Pink Pub) at North Bersted, probably of the 17th century.
