Hidden Horsham - Then and Now 12

The Francis Frith Collection - Own a piece of British History

In building this site it has been interesting to see how Horsham has developed over the years. The Francis Frith photographs provide the historic comparison to how Horsham looks today

It has not been possible to reproduce all of the photographs but below are the best attempts to date. Clicking on each modern day photograph will open a new window showing the full size image. The link in the text below will take you to the relevant page on Hidden Horsham

Clicking on the old pictures will take you to the Francis Frith web site where you may purchase a copy of any of their photographs

This is the twelfth set of then and now comparisons. Click here for the other ones: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 (12) 13
