More about this scene

This view is in Homefield Park north-east of Steyne Gardens, and looks towards the Homefield Road gate; the chimney of No 42, one of the road's 1880s houses, can be seen between the trees and Thurlow Road beyond the gate piers. This inland park offered a more sheltered stroll than along the seafront in windy or inclement weather. However, since this view was taken the pond has entirely gone, along with the rustic bridge.

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
