Until the middle of the
18th century this traditional seaside resort
on the West Sussex coast was a modest fishing
village.
Then the Victorians discovered the
delights of sea air and the joy of bathing.
Its growing reputation received a royal boost
when King George III sent his youngest
daughter Princess Amelia to test the town’s
health-giving properties in 1798.
Today
Worthing is less glamorous but just as bracing
with its four-miles of flower-bedecked
promenade, theatres and Regency properties. |
