About Worthing - show info hide info

Worthing is a town in the county of West Sussex, with a population of approximately 98,000 inhabitants. It is known for being largely a retirement town, and as such had the third busiest crematorium in Europe at one time. There is evidence that Wothing saw habitation as early as the stone age, where it seems Worthing was an important flint mining site. Plenty of later bronze age relics have also been found here, as well as coins and pottery from the Iron age. When Worthing was mentioned in the Domesday Book, it had a population of just 22. The Saxons settled nearby in the nearby towns of Goring-by-Sea and Sompting, and by the 13th century, the village, known as Wortinge, was mainly inhabited by farmers and mackerel fishermen. The name Worthing is derived from a natural annual phenomenon. Seaweed beds off nearby Bognor Regis are ripped up by summer stormsand are deposited on the beach by the prevailing Atlantic currents. The seaweed is a rich sourch of nitrates, and thus makes good fertilizer. The decaying weed was sought by farmers from the surrounding area. Thus the town became known as Wort (weed) inge (people). In the 18th century, Worthing began to attract visitors, as its warm climate and calm seas suited the Edwardian tastes for seaside holidays and sea cures, though by 1801 the population was only 2,500, giving the hamlet town status. Over time the town has become a popular south coast retirement location, and is also a commuter town for London, as well as Brighton and Portsmouth. Despite its reputation as a retirement town, Worthing has had a number of famous underground societies, early examples being the 19th century Bonfire Boys, and the Skeleton Crew. Worthing has 5 stations, all on the Brighton-Portsmouth West Coastway Line. The five stations are Worthing, West Worthing, East Worthing, Durrington and Goring. The stations see services to London Victoria from Littlehampton, Portsmouth and Southampton, as well as services between Brighton and Littlehampton, Basingstoke and Portsmouth Harbour. Nearby towns to Worthing include Littlehampton, Brighton, Hove, Bognor Regis, Shoreham-by-Sea, Lancing, Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath and Lewes.
