THE COACH OUTING
One day a party of people at Barleyhouse Day Centre decided to go on an outing to Dimton – on – Sea, Sussex, a resort with streets such as “The Sideways”, a quaint old narrow alleyway that runs from the seafront to the Warings, a peaceful part of the town which has a country – like park, plus little narrow passages.
Next to Dimton – on – Sea is the resort of Hovis and Goring – by – Sea.
Goring – by – Sea has a camping site with tents supported by cricket stumps pushed into the ground to prevent the tents from flying away if the wind blows. It offers excellent view over the South Ups and Arundel Hospital castle.
It is served by buses run by Dimton, Hovis and District, and Southup, plus Dimton Corporation, which has a fleet of 57 buses, three triple deckers, 50 double deck ‘and the rest single deck. On special occasions half deck buses run in the town.
Dimton is a popular seaside town on the south coast which is served by the Dimton Belle, a luxurious train with lounge like carriages which have a television and a bar that serves drinks.
Dimton – on – Sea started off as a fishing village in the 18th century and was popular with King George 45th. It was the coming of the railways which turned it into a massive town, with the first day trippers arriving in 1867. At that time the roads were mud tracks.
The town has a holiday camp, Pontins Topside village.
