Walks in England: Exploring the Carfax

Today I am in Horsham in West Sussex, exploring the Carfax, a old term for where four roads meet. I used to live in Horsham and worked in the Carfax when I left school. The Causeway is a beautiful street to the south of the Carfax and it leads past St Mary's Church to the River Arun. From there, a short walk takes to a rare spot, a place where a river, a road and a railway converge.

Horsham changed a lot when they knocked down St Marks church and built the inner bypass road through what was park street in 1988-92.

Nice looking place. Shame all the new estates are rewriting it's history. Love all the old buildings, so beautiful. Really enjoyed this, will be paying a visit.

Best film of Horsham I have seen, born here in 1933, what a stunning film, thank you for a very thoughtful film of our dear Horsham, if you had gone under the bridge you would have been foot of Denne Hill, where the Soldiers were training, this was The Canadians, for the a raid on Dieppe , most were killed, bless them, also, where a plane crashed in the war, and I among other children, secreted away Perspex and we shaped it into tings and things, and I metal detected it for years, you have Barrack Field, full of horse related items, then over the railway bridge up the slope to the tight, through kissing gate, hundred yards, you pass a massive BlackBerry Bush, the site of the Crashed plane one of two the other one I think crashed on another hill near Kerves lane, and carry on walking is where the Napoleonic were billeted, where I found musket balls by the dozen, further on, top of the hill where the Wonderful Canadians were camped, and we the Horsham kids spent time as invited guests to parties, and had treats we had never seen, it took the taste of Whale meat out of mouths, what a lovely place for children then, we lived as free spirits, not seen too much now.Thank you again for a wonderful Film, before I go, I have a diary of John Baker who describes Park House as his home and delightful stories how they lived and traveled to and fro.

Horsham was a major employer at one time. We had Sun Alliance HQ, RSPCA HQ, Novartis and Disctronics in Southwater (Major UK CD supplier). As a student home for the holidays from uni, I got to work for all of these companies for a few weeks. Good times

Very interesting history. Horsham looks a lovely place to live.

[@philip2595]

Horsham is also the name of a country town here in Victoria, Australia. No doubt named after your Horsham in West Sussex.

[@ramibu239]

Horsham is such a clean, beautiful little village. I just loved all the diff decades of architecture. Again, well done on explaining the history of another great place!👍

[@Duffy512]

Horsham is a fantastic little village! Very clean. So much history. Imagine the families that lived on those streets over the hundreds of years. You could spend a lifetime researching the history of that area.

My home town - still a lovely place!

[@shahwalizedran258]

Thanks for posting Richard. I used to work at the old TSB bank in Market Square and have lunch down by the church and the river. Such a beautiful town.

I've added Horsham to my list of places to visit - looks lovely.

[@charlesstell506]

Thanks Richard, A lovely walk. Horsham history spans a considerable number of years.

[@paulpannell6694]

My mother, who just turned 100 years old, was born in Horsham, in a house in Albion Terrace, which backed onto the Capital Theatre....Neither are there now, but I remember them well, since I grew up in that town, and really enjoyed the video walk through It.

[@chrimorhen4585]

I live in Horsham found this very interesting

[@waynehead7549]

We live in New Zealand by my wife grew up in Southwater. Her family still live in the area and told us about your videos. We really love watching them and hope to visit some of the places when we are in Britain next year.

Horsham looks like a beautiful town. I will definitely visit in the future.
