More about this scene

Troops were billeted at the shoreward end pavilion during the Second World War, though it had re-opened to the general public by 1946. A facelift was carried out to this pavilion in 1958, with a £1.1 million renovation scheme taking place in 1979-82. Today the Pavilion Theatre houses dances and concerts, both of the classical and rock music variety.

I very much enjoyed a short holiday at The Beach Hotel on Worthing seafront in 1976, it was very grand back then, marvellous food and excellent service and a short walk from the wonderful Roberts Wine Lodge and the pier. Sadly this hotel has now been demolished and replaced with a Premier Inn
