More about this scene

Between the wars, Worthing lost its wonderful town hall and theatre. The shopping streets were modernised, but parts survived into modern times, when older buildings are more appreciated; however, the suburbs and absorbed villages make the effort of getting into the town centre a dispiriting one. The crowd are watching an event from the beach and the pier. The first 1862 pier had been rebuilt in 1889, and again in 1914 when disastrous storms turned the South Pavilion into an island.

I now live in the west coast if Canada but I would love to find out if the lovely old house still ...see more
My Grandparents moved to Worthing in June 1910. They first rented a property called Sunnyside (No 11) in Ladydell Road whilst waiting for the Church Walk houses to be completed. Then they moved into 23 Church Walk and named the house Armadale - you can still make out this name on the gate post although the name has since fallen into disuse and is almost obliterated by paint. They named the house ...see more
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
