EDITORS COMMENTS
In this haunting print captured by TopFoto. co. uk, we are transported back to a chilling incident that unfolded in Bognor Regis on January 9th, 1936. The image showcases the bungalow at Felpham where Nurse Gladys Hill and Victor H Simmonds met their tragic end. The bodies of Nurse Hill, a young woman dedicated to caring for others, and Simmonds, a 42-year-old married taxi driver from Bognor Regis, were discovered lifeless in a room filled with deadly gas. Neighbors had alerted the police after noticing an unfamiliar car parked outside the bungalow throughout the night. Simmonds was known to have been friendly with Nurse Hill for some time before this fateful event took place. He had recently moved from Wood Street in Bognor Regis and worked for his father. Meanwhile, Nurse Hill hailed from Cardiff and had family ties there. This poignant photograph serves as a reminder of the mysterious circumstances surrounding their deaths during an era marked by uncertainty between two world wars. As we delve into this piece of European history through monochrome imagery, it is impossible not to wonder about the untold stories hidden within these walls – stories that will forever remain shrouded in darkness.
