More about this scene
Between the 16th and 17th centuries, Horsham's July fair was held in the Carfax. By 1877, it had become almost entirely a pleasure fair and a nuisance to the inhabitants, and was abolished. Music was also popular in Horsham, and a bandstand was erected in the Carfax in 1891from money collected by subscription.
