More about this scene
Originally the open central area in Horsham was known as the market place, but by the later 19th century the northern part was called the Carfax, a name possibly derived from 'Skarfolkes', used in 1524 for taxation purposes, or from the street called 'Skarfax' mentioned in 1548. The war memorial was erected in 1921, but it has since been re-sited.

The windows above Milledges, the toy shop and the door in middle of shops is where my Piggott relatives lived in the 1950/60s. Lovely memories.
