Horsham nostalgia: Pictures from the 1980s show the station roundabout, Tanbridge Lower School, Scouts on parade and protest against closure of the Capitol Theatre

These pictures from our archives show a snapshot of Horsham in times past, as well as Steyning, Storrington - and a set of oversized bellows in Bramber!

The picture of Tanbridge Lower School brings back a few memories for me - as I'm sure it does for many of you.
