A thriving and bustling market town, Horsham is a place with a sense of its own identity. From its early origins it has been well known for its sheep, cattle and corn markets with charters for the markets having been granted by the King from the thirteenth century.
Horsham Streets commemorates the people who lived there, their occupations, events taking place in the own in earlier centuries and shows how national events such as the Battle of Trafalgar and the Napoleonic Wars have influenced its development. Many streets are covered, from the first streets named simply North, South, East and West to Belloc Close and Shelley Court after the famous poets who once lived around Horsham.
Illustrated with over 100 evocative photographs and ephemera, this absorbing book captures Horsham's heritage and offers a unique glimpse into the town's past.
