Horsham is a market town in West Sussex on a major crossing of the River Adur. The origins of the town date back to Anglo-Saxon times and the area was known early on for horse trading, becoming established as a borough in the early thirteenth century. Horsham was always a successful market town but its wealth was also generated by iron smelting, brickmaking, stone quarrying, brewing and leather making. More recently it has developed financial and service industries in sectors such as insurance and video gaming. Famous brewers like King and Barnes had been established in the town, and continuing the heritage of local brewing there are now craft brewers, gin distillers and vineyards. The population has grown rapidly in recent years due to new housing developments on the outskirts of the town.Celebrating Horsham chronicles the proud heritage of Horsham and what draws so many to this town today. Illustrated throughout, this fascinating book offers a marvellous and refreshingly positive insight into Horsham’s rich history, its special events and important moments.
