I deliver around this area regularly. I'm 41 and remember these days. I lived at 103 Loxwood Avenue, near Broadwater. What I find striking is how few cars are on the roads. No traffic! Look at all those parking spaces! Today I sit in traffic for what seems a lifetime only to arrive at the address and find there's absolutely no where to park. Crazy. The world and it's mother needs an SUV. I remember the roads being quieter but thought it was the Mandela Effect. No. The roads were empty when I was a kid.

Definately also fuel cheaper relative to household expenses and not many potholes!

Great video of Offington and Durrington, I didn’t even know there were dashcam videos of the roads back then. There are some transformations on every road and some businesses that were there are no longer trading. Great to see my hometown’s history. Thank you for the video.

Hi thanks for the comment! We actually hired a large video camera that took vhs tapes.

@@vntr2006 thank you for the reply. Great to know that you’ve made use of the camera that you have hired. VHS cameras in colour were expensive back then as you already know and the video you recorded is a abundant value of the history of Worthing. Once again, thanks for the video and other videos on this channel.

Hardly any traffic compared with 30 odd years later. If it continues at this pace it’ll be gridlock in another 30!

Apart from the cars, the "look" of 1988 not changed much. Go back 34 years from 1988 to 1954 though, huge difference.

@@vntr2006 Yeah that’s my point. I was born in 1987 and nothing has changed in my lifetime. And the changes that happened before were basically all bad. Cars taking over, large houses. I watched a video from the West Sussex Records Collection thing they put up last week and it showed how south farm road crossing used to be: electric trains in the 1930s, bicycles everywhere, almost no private cars. We had it right back then and destroyed it all.
