Worthing: Then and Now, by Tony Wales, published 30 September 2003 (96 pp., Seaford: S. B. Publications, ISBN-10: 1857702816 & ISBN-13: 9781857702811) accessible at: West Sussex Libraries & East Sussex Libraries

Worthing appears on the face of it, a nice quiet unassuming seaside resort, ideal for families and retirement. However this was not the case in earlier years when the town provided plenty of excitement with smuggling, bonfire boys and riots. Most of this disreputable behaviour has now disappeared and the town has adapted to modern times. The town hall has gone along with the steamers at the end of the pier, the fishermen's net shops and the early theatre. So look back and compare Worthing how it used to be, to how it is today and for some of the older residents, relive some of those memories.
Tony Wales, the author, lived in Worthing for many years. He is now retired and lives in his hometown of Horsham.
