I have just been given a letter dated 1943 from a solicitor to my Grandfather informing of his sister's death.
Her name was Ada Millicent Clifford (she was unmarried) and her address is given as "Rossi", High Street, Tarring, Worthing.
I have been having a dig on Ancestry to see if I can find any information in telephone directories, but no luck.
I would be very grateful if anyone could tell me how (and if) I could find out any more information about this address - maybe even a photo?? 
with many thanks
Tilly

Hello Pete
Many thanks for your reply and the PM - Unfortunately as I live in France, I will have trouble getting either of the books. But I shall do as you suggest in your PM; also I have just found a site dedicated to Tarring and I shall contact them too (tarring.inthepast.org.uk) .
Thank you again for your help

Google Maps shows where abouts High Street is and the Satellite View shows what it looks like now, but as the house is named, rather than numbered, it doesn't show a specific location.
I just searched for High Street, Tarring on here:- http://maps.google.co.uk

Hello Bob and Allan
Many thanks for your replies. I have had a look at the satellite image on Google.... and I would be very grateful, Allan, if you did find the house.
I forgot to say in my original post that Ada must have named the house herself - "Rossi" is the name of one of our ancestors (an Italian sculptor). Also I know she wasn't there in 1911 as I have the census for her.
Thank you again for your help

Hello Allan
Many thanks - I hope the High Street isn't ten miles long!!
The house must have been called something else before she moved in - and maybe when she died and the house was sold (? - I don't know if she owned the house or rented it), the name changed again. I wish they had given a number in the letter!
Thank you again for all your help

Hello again Allan
I have just this minute - since sending last message - received a copy of a mail sent to my distant "Rossi Cousin" in America by another cousin. Here is what it says :
Interestingly in 1914 there was a Miss Clifford living in "Rossi",
> Browning Road, Worthing (close to Tarring). The attached list of
> houses in sequence could enable you to see which house using
> multimap's birds-eye view. Rossi is fourth on the right from Heene
> Road.
There is an attachment with the mail from the Worthing and District Directory 1914 - 1915. According to the list she is next to a house called "Green Stede".
What do you think? Is there some sort of muddle up in the addresses? Or did she move from Browning Road to High Street?
Interesting!!
Tilly

Me again!!
I have just had a flash of inspiration!! Looking at the list of names of people living in the same road as Ada, her neighbour is a Mrs B Rope who lives in a house called "Epor". I thought this seemed familiar - and have just checked - this is in fact her widowed sister, Blanche, who is at this address in the 1911 census!

Hello Allan
Green Stede and Epor (Blanche Rope (née Clifford's) house) are either side of Rossi.
PM on its way!

Up to the mid 1930s and before the Rectory Road by-pass was built, High Street ,West Tarring ran from Church Road to the Thomasa'Becket (Littlehampton Road/Poulters lane junction)
and the northern half was probably re-named Rectory Road post 1945.
