Passing through Homefield Park and the playing fields of Davison High School, the stream continues into fields near East Worthing railway station, it meets with Broadwater Brook (also known as Sompting Brook) before turning abruptly southwards to Brooklands Lake, from where it flows into the English Channel.
[1] There is evidence that Worthing's Roman grid system, known as 'centuriation', was based on plots and their distance from the Teville stream and the neighbouring inlet of the sea from which Broadwater gets its name.
Later, in 1832, the leader of Worthing's last smuggling gang was shot dead at point blank range whilst escaping across a narrow footbridge across the Teville stream.
[6] During the Second World War the culverts of the Teville stream were recut to form a more effective barrier against tanks which might travel along the potentially vulnerable gap through the South Downs at Findon Valley.
A new link of nature trails have been proposed to run from Brooklands and the present-day mouth of the Teville stream by the sea, right the way up to the Downs.
The first stage of this would be a route following the Teville stream from Pages Lane in East Worthing across fields to Brooklands lake.
