The Guildbourne Centre, Worthing. 2020.
In 1974, The Guildbourne Centre was opened which was a stark contrast to the old streets and the historic buildings of Worthing.
It was described as the most brutal construction in those times .
In the heart of this seaside town, it was opened by Stanley Elliott, the mayor of Worthing in 1974.
The centre comprised of shops, offices, flats, and multi-storied car park. There were rumours that a ‘posh cabaret restaurant’ would be opened and well-known stars will come to perform at the elite venue. This never materialised.
Occupying an enviable position in the heart of the town, the Centre has had a troubled recent past with many shops failing to thrive. In more recent times Wilkinsons & othershave helped to lift the area but ,Today, it feels desolate, lonely and unwelcoming inside. Maybe time for demolition and to grace Worthing with something better.
