Cushion : Street Plan of Worthing c1830
Home Decor from West Sussex County Council
Street Plan of Worthing c1830
Shows Warwick House and gardens, Wortley House, Marine Library, Sea House Hotel, and New Town (built c1820s on what is now Clifton Road). Interestingly, Union Place is called Union Street, which there is no reference to it ever being called. It is not as detailed as the 1826 / 1832 Wallis plans, but is charmingly coloured in watercolour. The Worthing Map Story does not make any mention of this plan, but it does refer to the early street plans as not always being perfectly accurate, as they were usually copied from each other. This does make dating the plan an inexact science, as the absence of a building does not mean that it was not there at the time. It appears to be earlier than the Broadwater Tithe Map of 1848, and is later than the early 1820s, as it shows Ambrose Place. The northern section of Chapel Road (Teville Road to Winton Place - Bo-Peep Lane at time, and unmarked) is called North Street, a name it lost in 1836. The western end of Montague Street is described as Cross Lane, a name it retained until c1820 (it is Montague Street on the 1826 Wallis plan). The lack of detail on this map compared to the 1814 and 1826 plans does not necessarily mean that it is earlier than either of these, as there are buildings on this plan that date it to the late 1820s, early 1830s.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This charmingly colored watercolor print showcases the Street Plan of Worthing circa 1830. The map highlights various landmarks and buildings, including Warwick House and gardens, Wortley House, Marine Library, Sea House Hotel, and New Town (which was constructed in the 1820s on what is now Clifton Road). Interestingly, Union Place is labeled as Union Street on this plan, despite no historical reference to it ever being called so. Although not as detailed as the 1826/1832 Wallis plans, this print offers a unique glimpse into Worthing's past. The Worthing Map Story does not mention this particular plan but acknowledges that early street plans were often imperfectly accurate due to their replication from one another. Consequently, dating this map precisely becomes an inexact science since the absence of a building does not necessarily indicate its nonexistence at that time. Based on its features and details depicted, it appears to predate the Broadwater Tithe Map of 1848 while also postdating the early 1820s with references to Ambrose Place. Notably, Chapel Road's northern section is referred to as North Street before losing that name in 1836. Additionally, Montague Street's western end is described as Cross Lane until approximately 1820 when it became known by its current name. Despite lacking some detail compared to earlier plans like those from 1814 and 1826, this map still includes buildings that date it back to the late-1820s or early-1830s. This intriguing piece can be found within West Sussex Record Office's Printed Maps Collection under Ref No: PM929 (not for commercial use).
