There could be several odes to Worthing on the horizon, although I hope this lockdown-inspired post marks the last of our lockdown experiences. Worthing has been home for the last 4 years and I’ve much to say about it, especially after 12 months of doing my own version of ‘the knowledge’. Around the world and up and down the country we’ve all been setting out on a grand tour of our local streets. I can’t complain, the seafront is impressive whatever the weather, but there’s much more to Worthing than this. So, what did I learn from all this roving around? Well, it’s considerably bigger and rather grand in places – not just on the seafront. Further inland it has bright and cheerful parks, eclectic architecture and many more centuries of historic curiosities than it lets on. Worthing has a fair few blue plaques to former distinguished townsfolk and near-forgotten celebrities of yesteryear. Also, a surprising number of rare but mundane old cars are dotted around, but more on that later. For now, here are a few of the town’s lesser-known sights that made me reach for my camera phone.
