Gardener's Blacksmiths

My grandfather was Stanley Gardener and lived with his wife Rose at the Blacksmiths House, 11 Worthing Road. My mother, Joyce was born here, as were her sisters Marjorie and Peggy. The forge gradually turned into a garage, with tea rooms. All the girls went to Southwater village school and with the great help of the then, headmistress all went on to Horsham girls High school. Stan was usually 'father christmas' at the school, was a school govenor and then became a parish councillor. They moved to 25 Worthing Road Horsham sometime in about the 1930's
