More about this scene

This excellent view captures the eastward expansion of the town in the late 19th century very well. Here the photographer looks west towards East Street between rows of bay-windowed and gabled 1880s Victorian lower-middle- class terraces. The newly-completed building with the corner tower survives, as does the Dutch-style mission hall beyond, dated 1891. The gabled and bay-windowed houses beyond were demolished a few years ago for the inner relief road. Sussex Towns From Chichester to Uckfield

This is the view from near the iron railway bridge (built c1859) looking back towards the town. The pyramid shaped roof was in place up until the end of WWII. Between then and now it has been removed but I do not know why! Have a look at www.hiddenhorsham.co.uk/9/9.htm to see how it looks today. The site is occupied by Sussex Blinds.
