Oh my god. At 1983 I was in Lancing for 3 weeks in a Language class. It was the summer of my life. I saw my “school” at 5.04 and recognized a lot of more on Richards ride along Lancing. You made my day! Thank you for sharing! 😊😻
@@RichardVobes I live where you started this video, so the glorious views can be seen without leaving the house! Even in the dreary days it's good to see. The variety of views the weather causes is spectacular.
Good to see this again after a few years. Especially now that the rotunda has been repainted for the Platinum Jubliee (still there from last year, 2022).
Lawdy that had my heart racing! That blue car turning right in front of you & then that black one honking at you - which I thought was gonna make you crash the way you got all wobbely! (You sure they knew you they yelled "slow down!"?) - just about scared me to death!!!😱😨😰😬😳😵🤪😅 Anyway, other than that a lovely tour around southern Lancing. Loved that old Railway Hotel & some of the other older buildings through that area. Those little beach huts towards the end were just so sweet w/ all the cute liitle details - like the "gingerbread" trimming & the colors! So cute!!!
@@RichardVobes oh!🤦♀️🤣😂🤣 Well that's great you're be recognized everywhere you go now!😀👍 But still, they shouldn't scare you like that while you are out riding!😬
Oh Boy...............Lancing My sister lives in North Lancing so I spent most of my time looking for her. Had to watch again to ride with you. You did it again super nice ride and super sunny day. thanks for the ride.
Brilliant as usual and such nice spring weather. Westwards yesterday to delightful Kingston Gorse - eastwards today to interesting Lancing Beach. Like Notes from a Small Island (Bryson) but all the more impactful in video with your commentary.
This video started from where I'm staying and went to Asda. The only place I've been all month! "South" Lancing (beach side of the railway) was almost all marshland until the 1930s. The newest builing is the flats next to Meze Meze (124 South Street), completed this time last year. Luxor was a cinema from 1946-1960s and was derelict from the 1980s, also made into flats only last year (2019). The ground floor foyer area has been retail units for decades. I remember the SEEBoard electric company being there in the 1980s when you'd rent your white goods from the electric board before privatisation! What is now Asda was built as Co-Op in 1994. The market was held where the rear carpark is now.
I have just recently come accross some of your videos of Sussex on You-Tube and what a fantastic series it is. It's been lovely to revisit some of the familiar places/streets and to now be more informative of these places I have so often visited in the past. Its been a wonderful trip down memory lane. A big Thank you for taking the time to produce these wonderful videos for my self and others to enjoy. I spent the first 10 years of my childhood growing up in 'Bungalow Town' and would often walk along Widewater and play amongst the beach huts and along the miles of sand. The caravan park you show was known as Golden Sands until it became Beach Park. I would often stop and buy ice cream at the the little shop on that caravan park.
Wonderful Richard! Beautiful day, lovely music and really lovely scenery, what a nice outing! Looks a bit busy, more people out and about, but with the great weather you are having, it would be hard to stay in...hope everyone stays safe. Thank you for continuing to do your wonderful videos, they are so appreciated! Take really good care!
Morning Richard - the sidings and carriage works were where the Lancing Business Park (previously named Churchill Industrial Estate) is now sited - the land having been sold when the infrastructure was cut back in the 60s.
Correct, I believe the rails branched off near the edge of Elm Grove. Isn't two of the old buildings where Manhattans is now and the other now the Indoor Go-Karting place? Grew up in Lancing in the 80's & 90's and took an interest into it's history with the Rail Industry.
Oddly too, the Freshbrook Road section between level crossing and South Street bridge once had 3 tracks. It's now only 2 with little sign that the 3rd was ever there. Tower Road in the opposite direction named after the water tower where the engines refuelled.
Thanks for the info on the carriage works location. I was pointing in the general direction according to a 1960s map I'd seen, so I know I was rather vague. That's for the facts! :)
My Dad used to take myself, my sister and my Mum to a beach at the bottom of the garden of a house called Nannette. we lived in Hove and took the bus and took a load of food down and spent the whole day there. This must have been about 1955. The house called Nannette had a large garden leading down to the beach. I think it is still there - I was hoping you would visit it. Remarkably no one came down from the house to tell us to get lost! I love Lancing - I had a wonderfull friend there who lived in Lancing Park - I have not had a Christmas card from her this year and am too nervous to ring her as I feel she has passed away as she got very ill. I also have another friend in Lancing who I must ring to visit - it is awful how neglectful one gets to be as you get older. Just love your videos and am now watching the Wiltshire ones.
Well Richard we are lucky with the weather, beautiful blue skies , it’s so interesting just seeing all the different buildings. Has the music got a title, it is so lovely and goes well with the video.
Nice one, I have a waggon plate from lanceing carriage & waggon works. And them bungalows you were talking about, in 2010 bluebell railway rescued one of them and are concerting it back into a carriage. Well done great video.
Richard - thanks so much for this. Almost identical day to my journey from the USA to Lancing early June 2019 to visit the Lancing-Sompting cemetery. Looking forward to your video on North Lancing, as I walked through there on my way back to the rail station. Keep this up!
Just came across this old video that I hadn’t seen before. I know you said that the Sussex Border walks weren’t so popular but I really loved these old tours. I suppose you were running out of places to go. Anyway I am happy to continue checking the old videos out. I might have seen some before. But I’m sure I will enjoy them again.
Hello Richard, thanks very much for sharing this video, it is a particularly interesting one as it is an area that I want to explore when things get back to normal. Living on the Isle of Wight I normally stay in the Worthing Premier and of course these areas are so easy to get to by bus, when I was very young and used to go down there with my parents from south London. Another area I want to explore his Shoreham as I have not been there for about 50 years. Take care Chris (Isle of Wight.
I remember it well...the coastal path is pretty well formed...also the cryonic banana is missing from your head...its not a fashion accessory:) Bungalow is builders is code for bung a low roof on 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Very interesting to see what "lockdown" is like in England. Frankly, much the same at this more northwesterly end of the Gulf Stream. Most shops are closed, but the "big box" stores such as Wal-Mart are as busy as Black Friday, judging by their frenzied parking lots.
You can see pictures of the old carriage works on the Britain from Above site. I think that Manhattan Furniture occupies some of the old buildings. I used to work on the old as it was called then Churchill Industrial Estate.
Surprising (& disappointingly) busy, although perhaps a little later in the day than your usual walks Richard? I thought we should only go out for Food, Medicines, Exercise or Work, so where are all these cars going? Perhaps I've misunderstood! No sign of the Drone yet Richard?
I remember as a kid my uncle would take us to Lancing railway station and on to the Jacobs Ladder bridge .(still there)and we'd wait for the steam trains to pass under us. Well i was only about 5!! I see the good burghers of Lancing are beginning to see the lockdown bs for what it is.
Richard I think you would make a good cultural attaché for Worthing and surrounding areas .Worthing tourist board should put a link to your vids on their website
@@raymondo162 I saw a video recently about Dutch cycling (where almost no one uses helmets). The conclusion for there was that all drivers are also cyclists making them more aware of cyclsists as drivers and the risks of cycling. Also the infrastructure is better designed for cycling e.g. Cyclepath network and bikes given priority or exclusive use of many town roads, making the biggest risk to cyclists, being hit by motor vehicle, far less likely to happen in town where most cycling occurs.
@@raymondo162 I don't want to take over Richard's video with this debate but have a read of this for a balanced view. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/mar/21/bike-helmet-cyclists-safe-urban-warfare-wheels#img-1

Glad you enjoyed it
A real pleasure, thankyou.
Lancing looks nice place walk look old past good weather best time to look round like old history thank you Richard
Glad you enjoyed it
Lovely beach 👍🏻
It really is!
That was fun and (in the speeded-up sections) scary at the same time!
Super fun.
LOL at the slaphead substitute for a clapper board.
Yes, that's exactly right.
Didn't realise the spring weather is so constantly beautiful there in England.
We are having an exceptional spring this year.
It's always like that here Yugrusstep! ha ha.

West Sussex in the sunshine... bliss, thanks Richard. Both the blue and black cars reminded me why I don't drive when back home in England!
Yeah, it can be a bit hairy!
A lovely video on a beautiful day. Many thanks Richard
You are very welcome
Towns are just as interesting as countryside. Keep up the mix!
Thanks! Will do!

Wow! Thanks for all the extra history. Very kind.
My grandparents moved to The Crescent in Lancing in the mid 60s. I believe the carriage works were further west than you indicated.
There are still railway carriages converted to weekenders at Winchelsea and Rye.
I have just recently come accross some of your videos of Sussex on You-Tube and what a fantastic series it is.

Thanks Richard. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Never knew about the train carriages. Most interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it. History turns up some amazing things.
It's lovely looking around different towns . It feels like your actually there . Well put together .
So pleased you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Very nice area.

Enjoyable ! Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Really enjoyed this thank you
So glad!
just discovered a use for my own slaphead. thanks.
Welcome!
The beach huts towards the end of film were really lovely. Dare I say much nicer than the ones in Hove

Lovely video Richard, really interesting about the railway works that was once at Lancing. It’s a shame it’s all gone.
So much has gone sadly!

In New England, people are social distancing, but we are just one nice sunny weekend away from a cookout. The lockdown is getting old.
I think people are becoming less cautious about the lockdown now.
Just like on the West coast too! We had to go out & do some grocery shopping today & the roads & stores were just as busy as any other day!🙄
Nice choice of music for this video Richard
Thanks, Julie.

Thanks for the clarification. Much appreciated.
We have a holiday home and beach hut on beach park, was hoping you would stop outside or see it on video. Lol.
Next time!
Surprising (& disappointingly) busy, although perhaps a little later in the day than your usual walks Richard? I thought we should only go out for Food, Medicines, Exercise or Work, so where are all these cars going? Perhaps I've misunderstood!
No sign of the Drone yet Richard?
He's doing his "exercise" ;-)
I live in an area on this video an disappointingly have seen many lockdown-flouters.
I could hardly fly a drone and call it exercise. :)
@@RichardVobes , yes, point taken!
5:57 ha stumbled across this video. I actually live in lancing and this guy is actually pointing at my flat there
A cool place to live?
Weird to see where I live on RUclips, very interesting
Richard, any chance of a cycle ride out to Angmering park woods to capture the bluebells?
Now there's a challenge!
I remember as a kid my uncle would take us to Lancing railway station and on to the Jacobs Ladder bridge .(still there)and we'd wait for the steam trains to pass under us.
Well i was only about 5!!
I see the good burghers of Lancing are beginning to see the lockdown bs for what it is.
How smashing to watch the steam trains. :)
Steam locos on the footbridge at Lancing? Here we are! ruclips.net/video/eMdN_7wLkow/видео.html
You cover a lot of ground Richard- I really must get my bike out and go for a ride out into the country.
I can't go far, but all this is around me.
Richard I think you would make a good cultural attaché for Worthing and
surrounding areas .Worthing tourist board should put a link to your vids on their website
Ha, thanks, that would be nice! :)
Where can I get one of them cameras
Really enjoyable ride, Richard. Isn’t lancing reputed to be the UK’s biggest village?
It is indeed! Although I'm not sure who works out this nonsense as it goes on for miles!
Is the lockdown over? Lots of traffic
Just what I thought.
Is anyone comment, how is the roads over there. I have my driving test there tomorrow.
Strange to see a coastal town in Sussex largely built after the war. Very unusual.
The whole coastal stretch from Brighton to Worthing started to join up about then.
Wow lot of traffic on the roads there 🙈
Yes, you wouldn't think we are all locked up in our houses.
What about a cycle helmet Rich!!
All the studies show that helmets offer little or no protection
Different laws over there in England.
Agree. Anything is better than nothing!
