More about this scene
We are very near to Worthing, where the downland has been inhabited ever since pre-historic times. The Norman church of St Mary has many Saxon features including a tower with a Rhenish helm roof, which is unique in Britain. The picture shows Sompting General Supply Stores with a sign fixed to the shopfront advertising Players Weights cigarettes, a popular budget brand. On the opposite side of the road, Smugglers has signs offering teas and homemade cakes - no fast food yet.
