175 years of Goringby-Sea

DUE to Covid-19 restrictions there was a commemoration rather than a celebration at Goring-by-Sea in West Sussex on March 16, writes John Vaughan.

The event marked the 175th anniversary of the opening of the station and the Worthing-Lyminster line. The Coastway West line, as it is known today, was later extended to Chichester and to Portsmouth in 1847.
