South Street

This interesting snippet from an Argus of the 1960's period sent from Derek Gorham, thanks Derek

More than half a century has seen little change in these buildings along the eastern side of South street, Lancing. The shops in the old view (above) now bear different names and offer other wares. The road has been widened and pedestrians now have the advantage of pavements both sides. A hard road surface also makes for easier, less muddy progress these days.
