Only having lived here for 12 years I can't come up with any ancient memories. However, a respondent to my website, Hidden Horsham, has sent me their mum's school photo taken at the Girl's School in Tanbridge House in 1933. I have now done my best to reconstruct the four scans into one and posted it on the Tanbridge page of the site.

Two pupils have been identified; the twins Betty (now Kenton) and Joan Rice. I would love to be able to add more names, especially the teachers.

You can contact me via the site or PM me here

How sad that this subject has not been swamped with replies. There must be some golden oldies with memories of yesteryear The Drill hall dances with big band names most Saturdays.

Boxing day Meet from the Carfax, Fireworks and bonfires in Horsham park,to name a few.

Even young persons must have some nice memories of pleasant days in what was and still is a beautiful public park.

Writing of bonfires we used to have one on the Green in Roffey, we the children would collect for weeks, all fireworks were shared, and the potatoes in jackets and locally collected chestnuts were great.

Sadly on my last visit to see the home i grew up in the green had been fenced and separated for some reason. Does anyone know Why? I am talking of the area of Littlehaven lane.

May i take this opportunity to wish all Christmas Greetings. Keep up the good work.

Yvonne.
