Worthing is a beautiful seaside town on the South coast of England. As you walk along the promenade and admire the victorian buildings, typical of an English sea side town, your view is interrupted somewhat by a massive chunk of 1960s brutalist architecture. You can't help but notice it because it stands in contrast to the rest of the town.
It's a car park... and I love a car park, especially one of brutalistic 60s design but sadly, it may not be with us for much longer and is due for demolition.. maybe, at some point soon. We're not sure, but in any case, let's enjoy this design "masterpiece" whilst we still can.

I like this video so I’ve pressed the button specifically for that👉🏻

I love these 60s car parks, with more car paint on the walls than on the cars.
-
"TWAT MOBILE" 😂😂😂😂😂
-
I think "Brutalist Architecture in a Seaside Town" would be a brilliant title for a Smiths song that never was
-
In days gone by we had Equinox and Horizon on BBC2. This is the only bastion of information we have left.
-
We definitely need a Great British Car Parks series from you Jon
-
You could have fun and apply to get it listed with English Heritage!
-
Look at you going all Summertime and taking your coat off! 😮🥶
-
The old Trinity Square Car Park A.K.A. the Get Carter Car Park in Gateshead was also a fine example of a Brutalist car park.
-
That carpark isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Don’t even get us started on Teville Gate! 😅
-
I love the 'second small disagreement' you've done it for ages 😂
-
I am the same age as the car park. Will I be demolished and replaced! 😮
-
That grand tour of the car park's features with the fair organ music was excellent!
-
If you fail at everything else in life you can always join a council, where common sense and accountability don’t exist.
-
Sometimes brutal is good, like the old Birmingham central library. Just a big concrete building with books and a Maccy Ds that has been replaced by a bit of Government debt and a glass building with no books.
-
I love these little "side roads" adventures. More!
-
What was the piss smelling scale there Jon? You missed that vital bit out!
-
English Heritage will probably give it a Grade II listing after viewing this, many Brutalist buildings have it now but very few car parks, yet.
-
From a distance you see it. Up close you smell it!
-
The roof of that car park would make an awesome Kart track 🤩 Glad to see more appreciation of the concrete joy that is Brutalism 👍
