West Sussex memories
Stents
My great-grandad, George Stent, ran the livery stables in Ann Street, shown on the right-hand side of the Town Hall, until the motor car put him out of business. His brother, John Stent, operated as a 'fly proprietor' from 4 Alfred Place, Worthing. When motor cars came along he sold his business to Wortax.
The Home of English Bowls
Beach House Park in Worthing is the home of the EBA and I first went there in 1983 to watch a tournament featuring the legendary David Bryant. It was and still is very popular with the locals and tourists to come and watch a few ends of bowls and to enjoy the wonderful floral displays.
I now live within walking distance of the park and go there several times a week on my many walks around Worthing.
Grandparents' Seaside Vacations

Worthing Paddling Pool

The beloved Minx was not turbo-charged and could probably manage to reach 50mph downhill following a scintillating acceleration to 40mph in about 5 minutes. My grandfather was well into his seventies and had only learned to drive following his retirement to Worthing. He had never indulged in beating the traffic lights down the Cromwell Road in London. Gently was his style and , perhaps anticipating my later BMW 3 -series boy- racing in London, I used to sit in the lovely rear leather seat secretly urging him on.
On one lovely Sunny Worthing day, Grandfather decided to live it up a little and ventured into the roaring traffic of downtown Worthing and the Minx ended up travelling the seafront. Very soon a large member of the Sussex constabulary raised a white glove and... Read more
Clapham Church
I visited Clapham and the Church in the summer of 1999. At different periods during the 1800's my Collins family lived and worked there. Thomas Collins of Burpham was buried at Clapham on September 13th, 1855 at 55. His first wife Charlotte Ayling is also buried there 1822 and his second wife who remarried and known as Sarah Mills Collins TUESLEY in 1876.
