Shoppers browsing in the Body
Shop will have no idea they have stepped into Worthing's own
Bermuda Triangle.
The Buckingham Arms is one
of three pubs where you could throw a dart from one into the dart
board of another- very handy if the landlord kicked you out!

A close up view of the architectural moulding on the front where the name would normally be painted. I have seen a picture where this is visible but for some reason this ceased. We don't know if the pub had the traditional swing sign outside. | ||

Door detail - left. It was common practice to have a door on the corner at that time but here it has been converted into a window. The pediment above still exists, although slightly blunted. | ||

A more detailed view of the
door posts which are solid not wooden. This one clearly shows it's
original, whilst the one covered up is carefully copied on the then
new extension. Again, this is solid rather than wooden - a sign of
craftsmanship I feel. If your father visited here, you can be sure his hand brushed these posts on the way in, the same can't be said when leaving!
