Its aims are to represent, develop and promote the heritage of Worthing and its surrounding area. Membership of the Alliance comprises representatives from all groups and professional organisations which have an interest in the heritage of the area. The Alliance aims to work collaboratively with all relevant organisations to promote our heritage through fostering a wider interest and active participation in events, projects and attendance at heritage venues.The members of the Alliance meet quarterly and produce a bi-annual newsletter (May and November), available at Member Society meetings and outlets around the town. The newsletter is designed using a “template” approach in which each member Society is given a separate section to describe its objectives, latest news, and calendar of forthcoming events with special features and promotional material (e.g. posters) included as appropriate. At the end of the newsletter all forthcoming events across all member Societies are consolidated , summarised and printed in chronological order so that members of all Societies and visitors can clearly see what is coming and maybe of interest. Hopefully this will encourage a greater participation in society events and an increase in overall membership.

Over 22,000 children were officially fathered by Canadian servicemen during WW2 in the UK but the actual number of illegitimate children born from relationships with Canadian servicemen isn’t documented. The Canadian soldiers started arriving as early as December 1939 and most stayed in the UK until D Day and then returned after the end of the war to be demobbed. It is well known that 1946 in question was the year of the baby boom, so many servicemen would have returned to the UK said goodbye not knowing that a child was on its way. During the war years servicemen left the UK, like during the Dieppe Raid in 1942 never to return. So for whatever reason there are many children now in their early 70’s who do not know who their biological father is and most have so many questions that may never be answered. The late Chris Vowles who founded Canadian Roots UK in 2008 was one of these children. Unfortunately Chris’s mother died whilst giving birth to Chris and it was left to Chris’s aunt to bring him up. Details of his Canadian father were never given, and throughout his life Chris tried many ways to trace this man, even trying DNA testing. Due to the strict Privacy Law that Canada has it is very difficult to obtain information on another person, but as long as the person looking has a certain amount of information there is a strong possibility that a family can be traced. Over the years Canadian Roots UK have had a good success rate and to date 138 families have been reunited. Canadian Roots UK is also responsible for the flying of the Canadian Flag on the sea front at the bottom of Grand Ave., West Worthing and in 2013 a Memorial to the Canadian Servicemen was unveiled which stands on the beach beneath the flag. An annual memorial service takes place on the 3rd Sunday in August to remember the Canadians that left Worthing and West Sussex never to return. LATEST NEWS: WW2 children are continuing to be reunited making a total of 142. On Sunday 21st August the annual service of remembrance took place and we were very pleased to have Lady Emma Barnard from Parham House who gave details of her families involvement with the Canadian servicemen that were stationed in and around the grounds of Parham during WW2. Around 200 people attended the service including Tim Loughton M.P., Major Tom Wye represented the Lord Leiutenant of West Sussex and the Mayor and Mayoress of Worthing. Cadets from the Navel and Air Corps handed out copies of the program. Canadian Roots are also involved with the revamping of the promenade area in front of the Memorial. Funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund is being investigated in order for this project to be achieved. It is hoped that a Canadian maple leaf will be imbedded on the prom along with additional benches plus further information board.

I belong to several local history groups, including the Sussex Family History Group. I am also a member of the research group of the Friends of Broadwater and Worthing Cemetery, and a contributor to their tour guide booklets and newsletter. My case study, (no 42), The Paine Brothers of Worthing, part of the West Sussex and the Great War Project, can be found on www.westsussexpast.org.uk LATEST NEWS: The past few months have been a busy and rewarding time for research, with a number of things cropping up unexpectedly. In April, a lady from Australia posted a query on the FBWC website, asking whether anyone knew the whereabouts of a letter which had been written from Melbourne by my great uncle, Duke Paine. This letter had been published in the Brighton Guardian on 13 July 1853, and I was able to send her a transcription, along with one of a second letter written from Ballarat and published in the West Sussex Gazette in November 1855. These letters describe in great detail life in the Australian gold fields, along with news of other men from the Worthing district who had emigrated. By coincidence, Paul Holden wrote an article in the September 2016 edition of The Worthing Journal, which included extracts from Duke’s first letter. It was Paul who had come across this letter a number of years ago, when editor of The Worthing Sentinel. In May, Antony Edmonds wrote an article for the Nostalgia section of the Worthing Herald, based on advertisements for businesses from an old guidebook for Worthing. Two of these, Barnwell’s Nursery and Frost’s Bridge Pharmacy, had featured in previous cemetery tours, and as both had family connections, I had done the initial research. My cousin, Graham Bettelley, and I both contacted Antony Edmonds, and as a result, with Antony’s generous encouragement, and the support of James Connaughton from the Herald, I wrote an article on Frost’s for the 28 July edition of the paper, and Graham wrote one on Barnwell’s Nursery in August. Following the discovery of a long lost cousin, I have been compiling an account of our Worthing relatives dating back to the early 1700s, which I am sending to her in instalments. This has led to researching some of the more distant lines of the family, revealing even more connections to some of the other old Worthing families. With plans under way by the FBWC researchers for next year’s cemetery tours, there is plenty to look forward to in 2017.

    Chair's Report to C20 Southern Region AGM – 28 March 2021

    Chair’s Report to C20 Southern Region AGM – 28 March 2021 Introduction At our AGM in February 2020 we were looking forward to another programme of outdoor meetings and events. Things changed so quickly from that date and everything very quickly moved online. I hope members have been able to join the many and varied Zoom events organised by C20 Head Office. More recently our Group has been working with the South West and West Groups to host a series of online events – our first on Seaside Architecture to be followed on 28th March (the day after our AGM) by a session on Ecclesiastical Building. We were pleased to have 65+ people attend the Seaside Architecture session. Future Programme We will be guided by C20 Head Office as to when we can resume outdoor events and the format these may need to take including numbers. These were the plans we had for 2020 and would seem to be a good basis to plan our next schedule subject to discussion with the original hosts: Hooke Park, near Beaminster and Briantspuddle (model village) with Mike Henderson (access to this event would be by car as no public transport serves these locations) Christchurch, Dorset Emsworth, West Sussex with Paul Underhill Woking, Surrey with Caroline Martin and Pauline Mousley Brighton with David Robson Potential Event on Hampshire Schools Others to consider: Shute House Garden, Shaftesbury, Wiltshire, 1969 – Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe A return to Poundbury – trip to be organised jointly with the South West Region Expanding the Committee The existing officers of the committee are proposing that we expand the committee to a total of six that means we have three vacancies to fill.

  • Worthing Pier And

    Worthing Pier And

    drastic steps were taken to hinder any enemy attack by blowing a 120-foot hole in to the Pier's decking near the South Pavilion. A section of the pier was blown out by the military in 1940 to stop German ships unloading troops and supplies at the pier-head in the event of an invasion. Following the explosion large amounts of barbed wire were strung between the blocks and land mines were laid under parts of the shingle beach. 1940 – A section of the Pier was blown away by the military Pill boxes, anti-aircraft guns and searchlight batteries were also strategically positioned around the town, RAF wireless and Radar stations were built on the outskirts at Poling, Highdown and High Salvington and most of the South Downs, north of the town, were used as a training area for the British and Canadian armies. In 1942 when fears of an invasion had lessened the Pier became a recreation centre for troops complete with a canteen, library and billiard tables. Entertaining WWII Allied Troops Just after the war ended Worthing Pier had a lucky escape, when a large sea mine drifted between the girders. If the mine had touched the steel girders then it is very likely the Pier would have been destroyed. Following this luck escape the Borough Council put in a claim to the Government's War Damage Commission to repair the hole in the decking, and refurbish the Pier after years of military occupation and general neglect. The Pier reopened to the public in April 1949.
