Nose down.
If you re thinking this is a beach scene from America, fame of freak games, you are quite wrong. It is merely an odd pastime known as Nose Ball which holidaymakers at Bognor Regis, Sussex, seemed to be enjoying. The idea is to knows a ping-pong ball over a 15 yard course, and these three young ladies seemed to be getting down to it in fine style. The one finishing the course. First, complete ball, but perhaps minus and those is, of course, suitably rewarded.

Capturing the Quirky Charm of Bognor Regis - Nose Ball Fun at the Seaside
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step into a time capsule and witness the eccentricity of pastimes in 1947! This print takes us back to Bognor Regis, Sussex, where holidaymakers found joy in an unconventional beach activity called Nose Ball. Contrary to popular belief, this is no ordinary American beach scene but a delightful display of British amusement. Intriguingly peculiar yet undeniably entertaining, Nose Ball involves propelling a ping-pong ball using only one's nose along a 15-yard course. And here we have three young ladies fully immersed in this whimsical game, their infectious smiles revealing their sheer delight. With determination etched on their faces, they skillfully maneuver through the challenge with finesse. The ultimate goal? To be crowned champion by completing the course first while keeping the ball intact – although some minor losses may occur along the way. The victor receives well-deserved accolades for her remarkable feat. This vintage photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates the carefree spirit of seaside holidays during that era. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia as we observe these women donning classic beachwear and swimwear designs from yesteryears. So let this image transport you back to simpler times when unusual games like Nose Ball brought laughter and camaraderie among friends and family at Bognor Reg
