What a lovely part of Worthing. I really enjoyed seeing those beautiful Regency terraces with their bow windows. I agree I don't like those head either! It was peaceful just listening to the early morning birdsong and the clock chiming. One good thing about this lockdown is the lack of traffic noise!
Hello Richard, I really am loving all these videos you are doing around Worthing it's making want to come and visit one day, I love looking at all the different types shapes and colours of different buildings it really is fascinating, I'm learning lots of stuff in your videos too, we really don't know what beautiful areas and countrysides we live in.
Thanks again Mr Vobes, it's like we get two outings a day. Also must mean the world for those who are not able. Just imagine you have 1000+ people joining you on every walk :) Thankyou
I used to work in Liverpool Gardens in an office block that was definitely part of the 'uglyfication' you speak of. I wasn't sure what to make of those Frink Heads...
Wow such beautiful buildings! I really like your speaking in a quiet voice, suits the peace of the morning walks and, I think, sets a nice quiet tranquil mood for that time of day. Thank you...take care!
Great stuff Richard- I agree with you about the Frink Heads- they are not pretty .The Horse Chestnuts look fantastic at this time of year-the leaves lovely and green and fresh.
Oh Richard...this area of town you have been in the last two vids!!!😍😍😍 Absolutely gorgeous!!! Just jaw dropping stunning! Funny when I read about Christ Church that it was part of St Pauls but built for the poor as the rich didn't want to intermingle w/ them at their church, but you can tell that this neighborhood was obviously a wealthy area even in Victorian times. The blooms looked like a type of Ceanothus or Lilac (was it super fragrant?), but the leaves below looked like they were from a Rhody bush (was it all one plant or 2 separate ones?). Btw...I agree w/ your assessment of the statues!😅 Also, the artist name was spelled like mine - I don't see that very often! ( E liSA beth)
This has to be for you on your quest for Worthing at the moment Richard: "Lost Buildings of Worthing" A historic town and its people by Antony Edmonds published 2016 by Amberley Books.
Loved this video! I was wondering what you were going to say about the heads (which I remember going up and agree are pretty ugly too!) but the incidental commentary and great video were much more interesting!
We must make sure we protect the historic parts of Worthing to ensure the developers don’t ruin the town and make it look like 1000 other towns in England...this will be our Battle of Britain! Unity is Strength + Victory will be Ours! ...hopefully! 🤭
You should also go up the twitten that runs up behind the Hair & Hounds and maybe film the old Wheatsheaf public house in Richmond Road that was built by its first landlord who was a survivor of the Battle of Waterloo.
The terrace with the heads on is indeed fake it was built in the late 80’s when they built the shops behind it C&A now TKmax was the catalyst for the development. I remember seeing them being built when I had a flat in Grafton road behind the hare and hounds pub. Talking of grafton rd how about a film on the spiritualist church there. A strange looking building with links to Arthur Conan doyle who was a spiritualist.Ive walked past it hundreds of times but never been in it would be great to see what it’s like on the inside.
This is a much more beautiful side of Worthing I have not seen before. BTW it’s Frink not Fink, at least the title is correct. Pity to make such a mistake.
