A 19th Century view of sea defences and yachts on the beach at Worthing, a large seaside town in West Sussex, England. Worthing had remained an agricultural and fishing hamlet for centuries until the arrival of wealthy visitors in the 1750s. The town expanded in the 19th Century, but was also a stronghold of smugglers, the site of rioting by the Skeleton Army in the 1880s and a writer's paradise - Oscar Wilde wrote the Importance of Being Earnest during his second visit.
