Left: An
1870s picture of Heene Lane that was later to become Heene Road.
Heene was very much a separate development to Worthing town, giving
itself to wide roads and large villa type residences such as this
one known as 'Chipton'. Many of us
will remember it as
Strollers (c1973), before
it became the Charles Dickens. In the 60's and 70's it was the
Chipton Club.

The internal structure still
reflects its origins as a rather large villa. The bar is
uniquely up a short flight of stairs. The bar itself isn't large by
many pub standards but the layout invites you to drift off to one of
the four separate areas. Downstairs features one room with Victoria style arm chairs whilst across the hall is a more traditional set up. Upstairs a relaxing lounge and a well lit dining area. The front has ample room
outside with wooden table and benches. The rear garden is very
large, a summer hot spot we would imagine. |
