The hamlet of Worthing began to develop as a fashionable seaside
resort during the late eighteenth century. It attained town status
in 1803 when its administration was invested in a board of
commissioners that first met at the Nelson Hotel. Inns of greater
antiquity were the White Horse at West Tarring, the Maltsters Arms
at Broadwater and the Anchor in Worthing High Street. Other
well-established pubs, such as the town centre Warwick and the
Cricketers at Broadwater, began as basic beer retailers and brewing
victuallers of the early Victorian period. Several pubs in the area
are of architectural interest. The ornate Grand Victorian opened in
1900 as the Central Hotel, the half-timbered design of the Thomas a
Becket (1910) was in homage to the nearby medieval Parsonage Row
cottages, while the imposing Downlands was built in 1939 in the
classic roadhouse style. Worthing Pubs takes us on a fully
illustrated tour of the historical hostelries in the district, yet
also acknowledges how the local drinking culture has been shaped by
the contemporary craft-beer bar and the burgeoning micropub scene.
