I remember that we had some wonderful days at Dark Lane on the beach when we should have been at school! And how wonderfully clear the water was, and diving off the pipe there!

I fell in love with Pagam in 2008
I fell in love with Pagham last year, I would move there tomorow if I could, I love the place! We came upon it by looking for somewhere to hire for a week of relaxation and thanks to good old Daltons Weekly we were able to hire a bungalow on Pagham beach, the extra benefit being the owner allows well-behaved dogs....

What do I miss about Pagham? Everything!!
My love affair with Pagham began around the mid 1960s when my parents Marlene and Ray used to take me to stay at my great aunt's bungalow on the East Front Road - the second one in from the end. Eventually this was sold and my nan and grandad Grace and Stan Yates... [more]

I spent my teen years during the late 1970s and early 1980s at Church Farm Caravan Site. We spent our days wandering the site or walking to the Crab and Lobster Pub at Sidlesham. That was before the harbour wall was put in, and you would have to check the tide times or risk a very long return journey. My brother... [more]

I remember very well the local people of Pagham as a child growing up on Pagham Road, from the bakers in Nyetimber, George Marchants to Mr Warner the post master, the following down the road to Church Farm we had Simon and Andrew Grout (his dad was an electrician) to Donna and Paula Chuter. We had lots of fun playing football... [more]

Prompted by Marcus's comments: Derek Bell had his garage behind Church Farm, together with John Watson, who in turn was helped by a chap from Midhurst called George Brown. Other garages there belonged to Ross and Derek Barrow.
The Quinnell brothers were Richard, Brian and Graham. Other people from Lion Road were Mr Smith the builder, Mr Green.....(something)... [more]

I'm not a Pagham local but have visited the place many times over the last 20 or so years. I've always been intrigued by that old concrete structure at the southeast tip of Pagham Lagoon but have been unable to find a definitive answer as to its age or purpose.
The most likely suggestion I've received is that it... [more]

Peter Tayman ~ In Loving Memory...and also a haunted house.
My parents bought an old railway carriage bungalow at 66, East Front Rd, on Pagham Beach in the early 1990's. The place was a total dump, so they burned it down on the beach! This was allowed by Council back then, if below the tide line - what a waste of the antique railway carriages that were hidden inside... [more]

Worthing Town and City Memories
The buildings on the corner of High Street and The Broadway were named Warwick Mansions. This commemorated the fact that in 1901, they were erected on the site of old Warwick House, which had been demolished a few years earlier. The trees and flint wall in the photograph marked the southern boundary of the Warwick estate. These were retained as a feature when part of the... [more]

Worthing Town and City Memories
During the 1920s and 30s, Worthing continued to rapidly expand. By 1937 the town was being promoted as both a summer and winter resort, and hotels now occupied much of the sea front and the area behind it. The Beach Hotel had opened at 4 Marine Parade in 1915, expanding into the whole parade by 1936, when the original red-brick houses that had, in part, comprised... [more]

Worthing Town and City Memories
The Corporation's policy of providing a sufficient number of public parks and recreation grounds for both residents and visitors was actively pursued during this period of expansion. In excess of fifteen additional areas for outdoor recreation were provided and by 1938 there were seven separate recreation grounds (amounting to fifty acres) and ten public parks recorded in the borough. Several of these combine... [more]
