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.
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.
@@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.
@@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.

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

I lived in several places there as well thank you for posting and taking me down memory lane 😊
Love it, drove right past out office circa 2 mins in, shame it did not capture it, been looking for some old photographs or film of it.
I lived all over this area.

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

@@vntr2006Can't hold it properly though
@@kowalski7086 Camera had no 'steady' function. Large type that held vhs tapes so very bulky.
@@vntr2006 I made a lapse in my judgment, I apologise
You just drove past the house where I grew up..124 Offington Drive..it's where I saw a ghost no joke
didn't recognise it without all the skyscrapers and shopping malls. Wow has it changed:)
The price of Petrol at both the garages was so expensive!! Shame only one garage survives
Looks exactly the bloody same
At 5.21 cannot remember there not being a roundabout at the end of Columbia Drive!
Spot the difference to now.
Apart from the cars, the "look" of 1988 not changed much. Go back 34 years from 1988 to 1954 though, huge difference.

Wow, I didn't know they had dash cams in 1988! Great bit of reminiscing, thanks.
Wish you still had the CAPRI?
Hardly any traffic compared with 30 odd years later. If it continues at this pace it’ll be gridlock in another 30!
wow you had really lada there at circa 3:30
how many minis!
Didnt think it is much different but just look at that traffic !!
7:16 turn left and thats where i live :o omg it has changed sooooooooooooooooooo much its kinda freaky
lol it looked good but the engine was not too powerful. The 2.8i I had later was much better.
Ha ha opposite my old house 38 Littlehampton road that massive boat in the garden
Southpoint Repointing I can remember that I wonder if it every floated
Colin Linfield who knows! I also remember the nursery opposite the becket pub that used to have a big steam engine in the play area
@mooregrimey There are worse places.
