Worthing, The Broadway 1919

More about this scene
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 Brighton Road was widened on either side and renamed The Broadway. A Worthing Directory for 1919 records the three visible shops at ground level (on the left of photograph 68989) as Colin Moore, a perambulator depot (behind the balustrade), Ivens, Kelletts and Childs, chemists and F C Whittington, bootmaker. Although the buildings remain virtually unchanged today, the trees and wall were removed in 1928.
