I don't know the town well enough, but I really like old photos and footage of places I do. Still, and interesting lil' video if you're familiar with it.

I didn't realise electric trains were around in 1939, really interesting film. Carpenters with only hand tools, how things have changed

Pre war Adolf Hitler appears at 20.55. Never knew he had visited Worthing.

Yes, and after a bit of slap and tickle, created a local lineage that has manifested on NSC in the guise of #detleted#

Love the bloke working on a roof in a pair of badly fitted wellies. No health & safety to worry about back then!.

Some great old footage of Tarring and West Worthing where I grew up (about 40 years later!)

Reassuring to know that people have been queuing at West Worthing crossing for over 70 years. I'm sure some of the people in that video have been stuck there since the footage was taken.

Most of the crossing footage is from Worthing station. You can tell because of the empty space to the left which is still waste ground today behind the houses on Pavilion Road.
