Worthing Attractions

The popular seaside resort of Worthing (pop. 92,000) was discovered at the end of the 18th century by Princess Amelia, the daughter of George II. Green house cultivation is prevalent here because of the mild climate. The resort has a reasonably good beach, an extensive promenade, an iron mole, a theater and a concert hall. Exhibits in the museum and art gallery include prehistoric and Roman finds, a late Saxon dug out canoe, 18th century costumes, 19th century toys and dolls' houses and works by English artists such as W. Holman Hunt and W. Callow.
