THE PARADE, WORTHING.
Worthing was first brought into popularity by imelia, daughter of George III.; the daughter and unfortunate Queen of George IV. also resided in Warwick House, now overlooking Steyne Gardens. A long shingle beach tops a broad belt of yellow sand, which at some low tides extends for miles. There is a pier 1,000 feet long, a People's Park, and the fine Baths at West Worthing are amongst the most extensive establishments in Great Britain, the largest of the three swimming baths being 186 feet long. Worthing suffered heavily in 1892 and 1893 from an outbreak of typhoid fever; this, however, caused a thorough overhauling, which has probably made the town now one of the healthiest on the coast.
