INSIDE HEALTH AND WELLBEING

Planning for Better Living The population of the world seek out opportunities in the big cities, and now around 70% of humanity live in the urban environment�

T

hey are seeking economic advancement, but all too often they find themselves living in poor housing with little access to the things they need to stay healthy and happy� The United Nations, together with the World Health Organisation, have recognised this trend within their Development Goal 11 (UNDG11), to make “cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable�” Giving people the chance to stay healthy is central to this goal� Local governments, as they make their local plans, are increasingly taking notice of the need to make towns and cities more liveable, and Worthing is no exception� The term sustainability can mean different things to different people, but there are a number of key ambitions that are similar, wherever those plans are being made and put into action� MAKING IT EASY TO GET AROUND Planners are striving to make it easier to travel around your community without using your internal combustion engine (ICE) car� Walking, cycling and public transport will be increasingly favoured� Reduced congestion and harmful exhaust

Green spaces allow people to get out of their cars, and mental health can be improved by getting closer to nature on a regular basis. There is also the boost to the ecosystem, with more birds and insects adding to the biodiversity of the city.

emissions, with ensuing better urban air quality, will lead on to better health�

Bryan Turner MRPharmS

BUILDING THE EV CHARGING POINTS Building an EV charging system does little to reduce congestion, but at least it will encourage the shift to zero emission vehicles with the benefit of better urban air quality� EV charging points are now popping up around the streets in Worthing� Councils could go further and install more charging points in their car parks� ACCESS TO GREEN SPACES Access to parks and other green spaces, including beaches, is a key element for allowing urban residents to have improved quality of life� Green spaces allow people to get out of their cars, and mental health can be improved by getting closer to nature on a regular basis� There is also the boost to the ecosystem, with more andLife insects adding to Planning for birds a Better the biodiversity of the city� Planning authorities may look at the prospect of urban parks, for example, old landfill sites�

IMPROVE WATER INFRASTRUCTURE Clean and plentiful water together with efficient waste treatments are a key component to a liveable city� Planners should work with water companies to make better use of new technology, to monitor water systems and reduce leaks� Residents and businesses could be helped to save rain water, for example, by providing free or heavily subsidised water butts� URBAN FARMING This is a new term but it is not a new concept� In Worthing we have a proud tradition of allotments� This provision has the potential to meet the growing demand for local (and perhaps organic) food, to boost local economies, to make the best use of under-used urban spaces and to reduce the impact of long supply chains� GREEN ARCHITECTURE Today, architects and planners are finding ways to design buildings that reduce energy use, by rediscovering natural building materials and new ways to incorporate solar panels into the fabric of the building� Ventilation and insulation can be improved and shade can be used to reduce air conditioning demand� The cities of the future will be better connected, and higher levels of infrastructure development and management by local authorities will lead to better “liveability” for residents�

It’s never too late to catch up on immunisations for your child

E

very child deserves the best start in life – and that starts with protecting them against a range of unpleasant and often serious childhood diseases� In recent years we have seen a gradual decline in uptake of childhood immunisations in West Sussex, so it’s important that children get vaccinated when they are invited to do so to help protect them� Following the Covid-19 pandemic your local GP practice has worked hard by continuing to offer eligible children vaccination appointments to ensure they are up to date with their vaccinations and fully protected� Many childhood vaccines are given more than once, at different ages and in different combinations� Keeping track of the different vaccines your child needs in their first five years can be difficult� Family life, work and other commitments can mean that, as a parent, you might have missed an appointment or struggled to find the time to make a new appointment or attend�

Ensuring your child has their vaccinations at the right time gives them the best protection, but the good news is, it’s never too late to catch up on any vaccinations your child has missed� Vaccinations can be rescheduled, and every child is still entitled to their jab, even if they have missed an appointment� Vaccinations are offered free of charge in the UK, simply call your GP practice to book an appointment�

in the UK, diseases like smallpox, polio and tetanus, that used to kill or disable millions of people, have either disappeared or are seen very rarely� Other diseases like measles and diphtheria have been reduced by up to 99�9% since their vaccines were introduced� Unfortunately, if people stop having vaccines, it’s possible for infectious diseases to quickly take hold in the community again�

WHY VACCINES ARE IMPORTANT Vaccines are one of the most effective ways to protect your child from childhood diseases� They protect you, your child and other members of your family from a range of unpleasant and often serious childhood diseases� Vaccination prevents up to three million deaths worldwide every year� They also protect other people in your community by helping to prevent diseases from spreading� Since vaccines were introduced

WHAT TO DO NEXT If you are not sure whether your child has had all their vaccines for their age:

2-10 YEARS

3

YEARS & 4 MONTHS

Hib/MenC 6-in-1 vaccine (3rd dose) MenB (2nd dose)

MMR (2nd dose)

MMR Pneumococcal (PCV) vaccine (2nd dose) MenB (3nd dose)

Flu vaccine (every year)

4-in-1 pre-school booster

• Check your child’s RED BOOK • Ask your health visitor • Contact your GP practice To make sure they have the best protection, your child should ideally have their routine jabs in line with the UK Childhood Immunisation Schedule below�

If you think your child has missed any of their vaccinations, you need to change a vaccination appointment or you’re not sure if your child is up to date with vaccination, contact your GP practice.

It’s best to have vaccines on time but you can still catch up on most vaccines if you miss them.

INSIDE LOCAL HISTORY

The Legend and Reality

of Smugglers’ Tunnels

Of all the aspects of local history that people ask me about, none is more frequently mentioned than smuggling; and when people bring up this topic, what is frequently on their mind are smugglers’ tunnels� There seems to be an insatiable desire to believe in the existence of smugglers’ tunnels, some of them stretching for infeasible distances�

Twitten to Western Place, behind Brunswick Cottages

O

f course, if you think about it rationally, what would actually happen if you dug a tunnel, say, from the beach to an old landmark in Worthing, such as one of its old pubs or houses? Apart from the immediate logistical challenges faced in removing Chris Hare sand, shingle and chalk, what would happen almost immediately is that the tunnel would flood� I don’t think anyone thinks that smugglers two hundred years ago had access to effective pumping systems or the means of disposing of hundreds The Legend of gallons and Reality of water� of Smugglers’ I am sorry Tunnels to say that the idea of smugglers’ tunnels, at least in our part of the country, holds

up no better than the tunnels would themselves had they actually existed� Charlotte Latham, the Victorian folklorist, who lived through some of the most active years of smuggling, gave credence to these tunnel stories in her paper, West Sussex Superstitions Lingering in 1868� She described how smugglers had terrified the kitchen staff of one large house on the Sussex coast by entering the house through a concealed entrance� They moved furniture and crockery around when the servants were out of the room and they could be heard rolling their barrels of contraband along a tunnel below the floor� The staff believed they were being tormented by spirits from the

underworld and fled in terror� Only the master of the house, wiser and calmer than his servants, realised the true nature of this apparent poltergeist activity� He lay in wait one night in the kitchen and seized one of the smugglers as he appeared through the kitchen floor in the dead of night, who, Latham says, then, ‘begged for mercy like a mortal�’ Latham believed that “the vigilance of the Preventive [Coastguard] Service has laid many ghosts in Sussex�” In other words, many of the hauntings and strange lights in the sky reported to her by the old people of her day were in reality the late night activities of smugglers, and that, “the present disposition to believe in ghost

LOCAL HISTORY INSIDE 13

Contemporary folklorist, Jacqueline Simpson has speculated that smugglers may have put about tales of tunnels to distract people from their real overland routes.

stories is in a great measure traditionary from the last generation, when smuggling was in the ascendant�” Perhaps Latham was trying too hard to identify cause and effect? It seems likely that the belief in tunnels and strange subterranean worlds predates smuggling� Contraband was stored by smugglers in various locations� Vertical shafts were dug and barrels of spirit lowered into them for storage, but that is a very different proposition to a tunnel extending for many hundreds of yards under streets and properties� Some inns and hotels had long cellars for storing wine and perishable

grandparent had� It is frequently stated by the informant that the tunnel was ‘blocked off’ years ago and is no longer accessible� People cling determinedly to these family stories and take a dim view of those who question their veracity� Yet it seems unlikely that smugglers actually needed tunnels as a means of conveying contraband, as Worthing in those days was still semi-rural, street lighting was limited, and smugglers, being locals, knew every twitten, copse, and lonely spot along the shoreline, where they could ply their trade unmolested by the excise or coastguard men� Moreover, the belief in mysterious tunnels may preceded smuggling by several centuries� Contemporary folklorist, Jacqueline Simpson has speculated that smugglers may have put about tales of tunnels to distract people from their real overland routes� Certainly Heene Lane (now Heene Road) was a dark, tree lined track way in the nineteenth century where smuggling gangs could carry on their business unobserved� Brandy Hole Lane, near Chichester, is still even today, a relatively obscure and shadowy thoroughfare – how much more so must it have been two hundred years ago� Simpson also speculates on an earlier period in history, when Roman Catholic priests hid in ‘holes’ built into the country houses of the Catholic gentry� Charlotte Latham tells us of the supposed tunnel at Offington Hall (sadly demolished in 1960) which was supposed to reach to Cissbury Ring some two miles away� At Offington, near Worthing, an old seat of the Delawarrs, a blocked-up passage,

which can only be approached from the cellars, is still believed to communicate with the encampment on Cissbury Hill, and to be full of buried treasure� Some years ago, there was a story current of the then occupier of the house having offered half the money to be found there to anybody who would clear out the subterranean passage, and that several person had begun digging, but had all been driven back by large snakes springing at them with open mouths and angry hisses� Sixty years later, in the 1920s, the story of the Offington Hall tunnel was still prevalent amongst the staff at the Hall, although by this time the tunnel was believed to lead not to Cissbury Ring, but to Sompting Abbots – about four miles away! Kathleen Underwood and Robert Double, who recorded these memories, thought that the tunnel had been built for those escaping religious persecution� They also remembered that the maids of the house in the 1920s were too terrified to go down to the cellars, even though they were assured that the tunnel had been blocked off many years before� It is easy to see how ancient legends of mysterious tunnels and buried treasure could be easily transferred to being the escape routes and hiding places of smugglers� Lastly, I think those who have tales of smugglers’ tunnels in their family should not be downcast if they are not actually ‘true’ stories, for they do represent some of our most ancient folklore� Folklore that is extremely old and buried deep in our collective unconscious�

Offington Hall food items, and I rather suspect that it is the discovery of old, bricked-up cellars, that have given rise to many stories locally of smugglers tunnels� Various local newspaper articles over the decades have carried stories about supposed smugglers’ tunnels� A case in point was in 1959, when the Worthing Herald reported that workmen building an extension to 116 Heene Road had discovered a tunnel leading in a southerly direction towards the sea� There was speculation that this led to the old Sportsman pub at 94 Heene Road� The old pub was demolished a few years later and replaced by a block of flats� Only the old flint walls survive to suggest possible smuggling activities of long ago and there is no trace of any tunnel� Many people with a tunnel tale will add the caveat that they had never seen it for themselves, but their parent or

Would you benefit from a financial health check?

W

hilst you may already have a financial plan in place, do you know whether your money is being used as effectively as it could be? Having a clear understanding of how your finances are working for you now can make all the difference in unstable markets, to give you confidence in your financial future.

Money can be a stressful topic, especially during a cost-of-living crisis� In January, the Financial Conduct Authority found that half of UK adults felt more anxious or stressed about their finances1 over the last six months, whilst one in ten were even actively putting off dealing with their financial matters� However, if your money isn’t being managed correctly with a considered financial plan, you may be missing out on the potential of greater returns down the line, as well as the peace of mind that your money is working for you�

CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS: • Do you have a number of pensions from prior employments that need reviewing so that you can understand exactly what you are invested in?

• Is your portfolio and risk profile aligned to your personal goals and timeframe?

• Are you investing in the right investment opportunities?

• How much of your income should you be saving for retirement?

• Would you like a clearer understanding of what your own plans for retirement will afford you and how you can maximise the life options available to you through having a well-thoughtthrough plan?

If you have asked yourself these questions previously — or they are now striking a chord – you may be due a financial health check� This will help you to better understand why, how and where you can find new confidence in your finances� The value of an investment with St� James’s Place will be directly linked to the performance of the funds you select and the value can therefore go down as well as up� You may get back less than you invested�

On Friday 26th May 2023 Broadwater C of E Primary School marked its 150th anniversary with a day of celebration.

T 1920, Broadwater Green, showing three children with the school behind them, the pump, and the Parish Rooms on the other side of the road into Worthing�

he main celebration event was held on the school field with the Right Reverend Dr Martin Warner, the Bishop of Chichester, joining the school in support of this momentous occasion blessing the school and officially opening the newly re-designed prayer garden� There were over 50 esteemed guests attending, many with long-standing connections to the school; including the local parish ministers and previous headteachers and advisors� The pupil leaders of the school led the service with readings and prayers and each child in the school placed their hand painted

personalised stone in the prayer garden� The glorious day began with the children forming 150 on the school field for an aerial photograph, courtesy of photographer Eddie Mitchell, to create a memory for the school’s history books� The commemorative photograph will join the archive of historical images of previous key celebrations within the school� Broadwater school has been at the heart of the local community long before the current school was actually built� The history of the school dates right back to 1580, where records show there was an established educational setting at Offington� In 1873, the first purpose-built school building, for both infants and older children was established on a site at the south-east corner of the green, given by the ladies of the manor� The average attendance at the time was 92 pupils� By 1903, the school had grown to attendance of 225� In 1937, a brand new building was established on the current site in Rectory Gardens� In 1976, the school became a first and middle school with an average attendance of 388� It became Primary School in 2016 with just under 440 pupils from Early Years through to Year 6� The school is very grateful to all those who have shared memories of their time at Broadwater� They have been used as a part of displays within the school to commemorate the anniversary and will be on display during the Broadwater school summer fayre� Over the next year, visitors to the school will be given an opportunity to look at the selection of archived documents and photographs�
