People in Horsham, West Sussex, dating from 1851 onwards

For interest only, although it MIGHT lead to a discovery for somebody.

Thank you for this alert. I have many ancestors and cousins from Horsham and the surrounding district but the expected purchase price places these prints beyond my reach.

 

Mine too.
I am firmly of the opinion that these sorts of finds should be put in a museum. I feel the same when they auction possessions of the likes of Sir Edmond Hillary and other pioneers.

 

Fingers crossed that the collection is purchased by an archive or a museum, so that interested researchers may have access to the images in the future. If anyone knows of a suitable home it may be worth contacting them to make them aware of the sale? Unfortunately, though, in the current economic climate the funds to purchase may be a problem for many archives and museums.
