Photo of Horsham, Brighton Road, East Parade Baptist Church 1899

More about this scene

Two phases of Victorian expansion are shown here in this view along the Brighton Road heading south-east from the town. The Baptist Church on the left, built in the 1850s, was demolished soon after this view was taken and replaced by one in a fiery Welsh brick. The cottages beyond are mid 19th-century, the outer ones bow-fronted, and much less grand than the six tall houses with bay windows extending up to the roof which date from the 1880s and are part of the later railway-led expansion.

I was born in 1939, but I can’t remember wether it was during the war or just after, does anyone know which year the cattle market moved from the Bishopric up to the station Yard? Robin Charman.

World Cup And Roffey

Was a patient for six weeks in summer of 1966. World cup celebration times (England won it that year) and sunshine though I was sad then. An amazing mix of patients; from young people (including me) to professional people, business and pilots. Met some very pleasant female patients there also. But never kept in contact, pity as shared experience would have been supportive. Great Doctors; mine was Dr Aminoff: I ...see more
