The dawn of the 20th century saw Worthing emerge from Late Victorian stagnation into a period of rapid urban growth, linked to the Golden Age of seaside holidaying and the advent of the motor car. The horrors of the infamous typhoid epidemic were left as a memory, with civic pride and substantial external investment leading to Worthing becoming one of the premier seaside resorts of Edwardian Britain. This exhibition will showcase a large range of costume, fine art and historical artefacts from the period, along with a showreel of photographs from our extensive collections.
