More about this scene
As in so many views taken of seaside resorts, Frith's photographer pointed his camera along the sea front from the vantage point of the pier. Here he looked westwards along the row of breakwaters that were installed to reduce the coastal erosion that had bedevilled Worthing's development as a seaside resort until the 19th century. The resort developed in a rather piece-meal way from a fishing village with fields amid the houses. Much of the old village with its rows and terraces of small flint cottages survives amid the sprawl.
