WHAT style, playing marbles in a fur coat.
This great Argus archive picture is dated around 1937 and is thought to show the annual marbles contest in Tinsley Green.
The World Marbles Championship is still going strong – Covid permitting – and is held at the Greyhound pub on Good Friday mornings.
Note the player who is still holding on to his tankard of beer with his other hand.

Our other archive pictures today are dated around 1942 and show girls from the Land Army working in greenhouses somewhere in West Sussex.

Worthing and many flat areas of the county had lots of greenhouses like this where food was grown to supply the people of the UK during the Second World War years when imports were limited.
