Overview
The quiet streets of Horsham feature in this short amateur film. We see shops, banks and pubs - many of which exist to this day. We see the old Town Hall in Market Square, which today functions as a restaurant. The film-maker then takes us to see the parish church of St Michael's in Amberley, West Sussex, where we also get views of nearby Amberley Castle.
