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.
