Onslow Court (1933)
Onslow Court is a spectacular example of Art Deco Architecture, a purpose-built block of flats constructed in 1933. Located on the seafront at the Eastern edge of Worthing, it was designed to offer unrestricted sea views in what was, for the time, a relatively tranquil setting.
Originally, Onslow Court had thirty luxury apartments available, all owned by a company called Knight & Co. and all available for rental only. One flat was occupied by the caretaker who looked after the whole building (and the communal boiler). This is no longer the case, and this flat eventually became available to rent and then later to purchase. One other flat was split into two, bringing the total number of flats to the current figure of thirty-two.
The building was designed by A. T. W. Goldsmith, who was also responsible for several other buildings in Worthing. (onslowcourt.org)
