History of Twittens Twitten Map of Worthing Twitten is an old Sussex word for a lane or passage. Twittens exist all over Worthing as the remains of pathways (later legal rights of way) from one village to another, e.g. Heene to Tarring or Worthing to Broadwater. The one in Broadwater is called, in places, the Quashetts or Squashetts. At one time, apparently, there was a gate at the top of High Street (the old main street of the town) where there was an altercation between the smugglers who used the route across the fields to Broadwater, and the revenue men who pursued them. One twitten followed a line from the Chatsworth Hotel side of Steyne Gardens, through a tunnel under the railway, then northwards to emerge on the corner of the Manor Ground, Broadwater. Library Place is a small cul-de-sac on the east side of the Dome, off Marine Parade. It is mainly used by Stagecoach buses but has a long history and is part of one of the oldest twittens in Worthing. It has been a public thoroughfare for at least two hundred years. The twitten (a passageway today) extends from the north end of Library Place to Warwick Street. It was almost certainly was used by Jane Austen when she stayed in the seaside town in Sussex during the autumn of 1805, when she would have used it from Stanford Cottage (now occupied by Pizza Express) where she stayed, to the sea. Stagecoach wanted to close it on health and safety grounds, but Jane Austen fans have won a victory and may continue to use it, provided they seek prior consent from Stagecoach. your area & keep it clear? it keep & area your services.
