Not many people are aware there was a Cricketers Arms pub in Worthing. Listed in Longs directory of 1892, it was just a case of finding just where it was built.

The directory entry states that it was on the right going north and the first building after Bedford passage. The top end of Bedford passage no longer exists as a road was put in to join Bedford Road and Marine Place.

Using an old 1890's map, I was able to find the original passageway and superimpose it over a modern aerial map.
They matched up perfectly, thankfully.

Left: The site of the Cricketers is now a car park. The brick and flint walls in the background form part of the Bedford passageways.

In October 1883, the licence for the Cricketers Arms, owned by H. Chapman, was transferred to James Gravett.
