 A turnpike road was built around this time linking Worthing directly to Horsham and London for the first time.In the early 19th century, a wall was built separating the fashionable town of Worthing from Heene just to the west.The wall was built from the sea to the banks of the Teville Stream, which could only easily be crossed at one point – the bridge at the top of the High Street, close to the Anchor public house (today's Jack Horner).
