Horsham, Big School 1902

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.

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.

1936

This was the year that I started work in Jacksons Cycle shop in West Street aged 15

I lived here

This photo shows the old post office that was run by my Aunts Alice and Edie and Uncle Harry in the 1920s. I lived next door in number 57 till I left in 1939. Jim Hayler

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!
