About Fencing in Worthing
Worthing in West Sussex was for centuries little more than a small mackerel fishing hamlet, recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Ordinges with just a handful of households, and even by the late 18th century the town reportedly had more fishing boats than houses. Its fortunes changed dramatically in 1798, when Princess Amelia, the young daughter of King George III, visited Worthing to recover from an injury, and her stay brought the fashionable and wealthy flocking to the town, launching Worthing's transformation into an elegant Georgian seaside resort. Growth continued through the 19th century, with the town hall completed in 1835, a rail link to London established by 1845 and Worthing Pier opening in 1862, and by 1880 the town's population had grown to around 10,000 people, cementing its place as one of the south coast's popular seaside destinations.
