Hidden Horsham - Then and Now 7
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
