Abstract:A town of surprises, Worthing is often written off as 'God's Waiting Room' because of its popularity with the retired, but it is lively and has a long and more varied history. Dr. White brings more than sixteen years of research to this very full and vivid account of the town's development since it was the site of a large-scale flint factory in the Stone Age. She draws on unusual, amusing and intriguing episodes plus tales of local 'characters' to enliven the solid, factual narrative. This is the first modern, comprehensive account of Worthing's past and will be welcomed by all.
Worthing, Richebourg and the League of Help for the Devastated Areas of France: the rediscovery of an adoption, by Sally White, published 2002 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 140, article, pp.125-138) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15109] & The Keep [LIB/500299] & S.A.S. library View Online
Abstract:In the aftermath of the First World War the League of Help for the Devastated Areas of France was formed. Its aim was to encourage the adoption of French communities by British towns. The purpose of these adoptions was to provide clothes, tools and other aid to the parts of France that had been battlefields during the war. The founders of the League believed that not only did the British owe a debt of gratitude to the French, but also that such links were the best way to avoid future wars. Worthing was among the many towns that took up the challenge. Led by its formidable Mayor, Mrs Ellen Chapman, it adopted the community of Richebourg l'Avoué in the Pas de Calais which had been virtually destroyed during the war. Links between the two towns persisted for a few years and were then forgotten.

Worthing Through Time, by Sally White, published 17 December 2009 (96 pp., Stroud: Amberley Publishing, ISBN-10: 1848681240 & ISBN-13: 9781848681248) accessible at: West Sussex Libraries & East Sussex Libraries
Abstract:Worthing Through Time contains 180 photographs of Worthing, of which 90 are old photographs. Some printed in a sepia tone and some printed in full colour. These photographs are printed alongside a contemporary full colour photograph which illustrates the same scene. The contrasting illustrations show how the area has changed and developed during the last 100 years. The photographs illustrate shops, schools, garages, churches, houses and street scenes, each photograph is captioned and the book has an introduction which gives a brief overview of the history of the town. As you browse through the photographs, you will notice the increase in the number of vehicles on the road, shops that once sold new goods are now estate agents or charity shops. Green fields have been transformed into industrial estates, houses or ring roads.
Review by Esme Evans in Sussex Past & Present no. 121, August 2010:This is another one of the series of books taking towns "Through Time", which not only provide a 'then and now' comparison, but have the extra dimension that in a few years time the 'now' photographs, which Sally has done very well, will themselves be of interest, and not necessarily recorded elsewhere. One day Teville Gate will be demolished, and who knows what will happen to the Half Brick?
All the early photographs are available to view on the West Sussex Past Pictures website (www.westsussexpast.org.uk), but even in 2010 not everyone uses a website, and a publication such as this brings the material, including much from the Gardiner collection, to a wider audience. Although I am fairly familiar with the collections held by Worthing Library, there were some which were new to me and well selected.
I would make the same complaint that Geoffrey Mead made in his reviews of earlier volumes in this series, that it would be greatly enhanced with even a simple map. Sally starts logically with the seafront and then moves inland from the east to the hospital and the station, then Chapel Road & Richmond Road, but then moves into businesses, hotels etc., with the villages, as expected, at the end. I would also make the usual librarian's complaint that no series like this ever has an index, and this one doesn't even have a contents/topics list.
A couple of other points: on page 77, Ham Bridge Halt is now East Worthing Station, not West Worthing as the caption says; and on page 30, whereas all the other modern photographs are taken from as near as possible the same angle, the northern end of Chapel road in the old photograph is the east side looking south towards the Rivoli, in the modern photograph it is the west side looking north towards Teville Gate.
