Horsham Forum - The Horsham and Southwater Commmunity Forum

I am saddened to learn that Martin the Newsagent in Horsham is to close. I was just speaking to the staff who have had very little notice of its closure. Apparently it is to be replaced with an Orange phone shop. Like we need another mobile phone shop in Horsham

The odd thing is Martin's always seemed quite busy to me. I normally pop in there for a paper when I am in Horsham and there is nearly always a substantial queue at the till. I am sure if somebody opened up a smaller newsagents in the centre of Horsham it would be a goldmine. It seems to take forever to buy a paper in W.H Smiths nowadays. They only ever seem to have one till open.

I hope all the staff at Martin's find employment elsewhere.

A decent newsagent would make a mint in that location a decet one though, not the kind of gaff by where i live that has a box of them DVD's you get free with the weekends papers for 25p each....cheeky rascals.
