Worthing Pier (adur-worthing.gov.uk) :

Designed by Sir Robert Rawlinson, Worthing Pier was opened to the public on 12th April 1862.

Described as an “elegant pier of iron, 960 feet long, for promenaders only”, it was constructed of wooden decking laid onto the iron framework and was about five metres wide with seating down both sides. It was built at a cost of £6,500, with the money largely raised by local residents through the purchase of £1 shares.

In 1884 two kiosks were added at the landward end of the pier to house a small souvenir shop, described as a “fancy repository”, and a toll house, to collect the small sums of money people had to pay to enter the pier. The first pier master was named Henry Hayden.

The Pavilion

In 1921 the pier was purchased by the Borough of Worthing and within a few years a domed pavilion costing around £40,000 was designed and built at the southern shore end. The building replaced the two kiosks which had previously stood at the pier's entrance. It was designed by architects Adshead and Ramsay and various local contractors, including Sandell's the builders, were employed in its construction. The Pavilion was officially opened on 25th June 1926, with a grand ball hosted by the Mayor and Mayoress of Worthing, Walter and Annie Gardiner.

IMPORTANT FOR USA BUYERS. U.S. Customs and Border Protection now require us to give then either your social security number or business identification number.

When an individual or company purchases goods from an overseas supplier, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) considers them the ultimate importer. The ultimate importer can clear the goods or have a Customs Broker clear them on their behalf. If the supplier hires a carrier that provides door to door service, the carrier service usually has brokers in their supply chain to clear the goods on behalf of the ultimate importer. If a formal entry is required, CBP regulations require the broker to put the ultimate importer's identification number on the CBP Form 7501- Entry Summary. 

The ultimate importer's identification number is either the Employers Identification Number (EIN) tax identification number assigned by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or the importer's social security number. The EIN is issued for the purpose of tax administration and are not intended for participation in any other activities (e.g., tax lien auction or sales, lotteries). For additional information about EIN, please visit the IRS web page "Apply for an Employer Identification (EIN) Online."
