You, sir, are obviously a man who drank in the pubs in Worthing when they were proper pubs not the rubbish that is there now.
In the 60s there were many fine pubs most of which have been slagged on here like; The Clifton, The Jolly Brewers, The Central,
The Downview. Hare & Hounds, Dragoon...
Sorry I was being facetious.
Why build a cinema? During my life time they have closed all four that were there and rebuilt on the sites, Plaza, Odeon. Rivoli and The Dome and they now have The Connaught show films.
I was in one in there during the 60s when a 'lady ' I was seeing started going out with one of the Does and they got the hump about me.
Now water under the bridge but brings back memories.
Taking into account my age, 63, most of the pubs I visited have either been knocked down or changed their names.
My frequent haunts in the 60s were;
The Clifton when Nobby & Kit Clarke had it
The Jolly Brewers with Reg & Fred Streeter ( Fred worked for Hills undertakers part time)
The Central...
