Still time to nominate your favourite Horsham '˜gem'
We are fortunate to have some fantastic scenery and buildings right here on our doorstep, which is why the West Sussex County Times, along with the organisers of the Horsham District Year of Culture 2019, have launched the search for the area’s 12 hidden gems.
Nominations close next Thursday, March 1, but already we have received some great nominations.
