Horsham, St Mary's Church 1907

Photo ref: 58190

More about this scene

The Carfax 1907 The Carfax and market place is at the heart of the old town. The reign of Queen Victoria saw many additions and rebuildings, including the fountain on the right erected in 1897 to commemorate her Diamond Jubilee, now relocated to the north end of North Street, and the Italianate stucco building on the far right built in 1893. The tall and elegant spire beyond is that of St Mark's Church, built in 1870. The tower and spire survive today, but are dwarfed by 1980s and 1990s office blocks.

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
