Free guided walk led by Pauline Fraser through central Worthing, following the footsteps of figures connected to the area, with tea and cakes afterwards.
Making Progress is a guided walk through central Worthing on Saturday 7 November, starting and finishing at Worthing Town Hall on Chapel Road. It runs from 2 pm to 4 pm, and it's free to join.
The walk follows in the footsteps of famous figures who spent time in the town, and the names on the list are a bit of a mix. Jane Austen, Harold Pinter and Percy Bysshe Shelley all come up along the way. One of the stops is Stanford Cottage, which is a Pizza Express now, but it's where Austen stayed with her mother and sister towards the end of 1805. It's the kind of thing you walk past every day without thinking twice about, so it's nice to have someone point it out and tell you who was actually there.
Pauline Fraser leads the walk, and it's organised by the Worthing and District Trade Union Council. The group meets at the Town Hall, heads out into the centre, and then, once the walk finishes, makes its way over to the Labour Hall in Lyndhurst Road for tea and cakes. So it's a bit of a full afternoon: the walk itself, and then a proper sit-down with a brew and something sweet to finish on.
