Horsham Walk: Town Centre【4K】

Located in the county of West Sussex, and around 35 miles south, and slightly west, of central London, is the town of Horsham.

Geographically, Horsham sits adjacent to the River Arun, on the western edge of the High Weald (an area of ancient forest, now largely made up of sandstone). The first recorded mention of Horsham dates back to 947 AD when it was referenced in King Eadred's land charter.

Horsham became a market town in the 13th century. By the early 16th century the brewing industry emerged, with five brewers in the town. Leather was another prominent industry in the town around this period up until the late 19th century when it entered a steep decline.

One of the most distinctive landmarks of the town is Horsham Town Hall. This was built in 1812, and rebuilt in 1888, albeit with the initial facade intact. It stands to this day on Market Square, and is Grade II listed.

New industries to emerge in Horsham in the 19th century included coach making and flour milling. Meanwhile the brewing industry went from strength to strength up until the 20th century when it began to decline. One notable brewer in Horsham was King & Barnes. Formed around 1800, this family-owned brewery survived until they were taken over in 2000 by Hall & Woodhouse with production moving out of the town.

Comedian Harry Enfield was born and raised in Horsham.
