The Bishopirc
What wonderful memories seeing this photo brings back. My aunt and uncle (Mr and Mrs J Piggott) ived at 6a Bishopric until it was modernised in the 1960s. Although the front door was between the sweet shop and Millidges all the rooms were spread over the first floor. It was a wonderful spacious flat having a large lounge overlooking the Bishopric as didtwo2 of the bedrooms and to the back the other rooms overlooked the small back garden and Piggotts large yard and warehouses. My uncle's family worked in this store for many many years. The shop was seperated from the house by two large green gates that opened inwards. I well remember Jock as he used to sing in his Scottish voice as there was an exit door underneath the kitchen window, it had a corrugated roof on it.

Working in Horsham
I started my first job as apprentice upholsterer for S Bonella & Sons, they started in Billingshurst, but moved to Swan Yard in Horsham and then to Denne Parade in the 1970s. I worked there for twelve years, and still was good frends with the familly, we had a policeman on our beat, PC Palmer, who came in most weeks to see if all was ok. Good times in Horsham.
Carfax
I remember the underground toilets in the Carfax.
I WAS MARRIED IN ST MARY'S CHURCH IN THE YEAR 1997
I am just looking this picture of St Mary's church and tears are coming to my eyes as I remember the wonderful waiting that I had in this church. I am from Greece but as I fell in love with this lovely girl from Littlehaven I came to England in 1997 and I got married to her. But what shall I say? Our marriage didn't work out as she was only 17 years old and I was a foreigner and only 25 years old. We got divorced in one year's time, but I have never forgotten her, neither have I forgetten this lovely place, Horsham.
I Will Never Forget Rusper Road, Littlehaven
When I got married to my beautiful girl I stayed with her family for two months till we found our own flat. What a nice place the Littlehaven area is, I will never forget it for the rest of my life.

The Drawing Office
From 1962 to 1966 I worked in the drawing office of Horsham Urban District Council. This was in the first floor extension to the right of the picture. This was my first job and my boss was Deputy Engineer and Surveyor, John Sheldon, and the big chief was John Ridd, Engineer and Surveyor. I used to park my motor-scooter in the stable block at the rear of the building. A source of amusement was to launch paper planes down to the school girls who used to sit on the park benches below!
