Horsham gallery revamp looks back to 18th/19th Centuries

Did you know Horsham had a ‘coffee shop society’ in 1700 or that the town hall was rebuilt in 1888 in the Gothic style that remains today?

These are just two of the fascinating facts that form part of the new 18th and 19th Century galleries that opened in Horsham Museum & Art Gallery at the end of last year.

Another intriguing piece of information is that by 1786 no less than two-thirds of coins in circulation were fakes!

The galleries are divided into a series of topics that cover brewing, railways, steam mills and coffee house culture, among others.

These new galleries are part of the FREE entry and the Museum is open Tuesday-Saturday 10am-4pm.
