This somewhat unattractive seafront building on the corner of Brighton Road and Navarino Road is gradually being demolished in order to built flats or apartments. Twice, plans have been refused by the council despite the second set being agreed upon by neighbours. With "credit crunch" conditions and steeply falling property prices one wonders whether this saga will go on far longer than hoped. The terrace to the right is a listed building because it was designed and built by S Adshead (also responsible for the pier and other early 20th century structures in the town). As the Worthing Society interferes actively to prevent even basic improvements to such buildings, one wonders also whether they have any responsibility for the delays.
