i live worthing, west suses and on buckingham road, ?
Hiya, I have friends in Worthing. Looking at the earliest map (1875-76, co-ords = 514602 102510) online at old-maps co uk I see Shelley Rd did not exist, but Graham Rd and Prospect place did. It shows an un-named road that would be the present Salisbury and Buckingham roads combined, and there look to be plots of land (or smallholdings) marked for building - but without houses at that time. Coastal living did not become popular until the Royal Pavilion was built (1823), so the local towns were still under development 50y later.
I would expect that in the 15th century there would only have been fields. Was there something about the 15th century that made you choose that date?
id say it goes back a lot further... roman times would be my guess. obviously the house wouldnt be that far back but the roads wouldnt be too far off
