Reminiscences of Horsham: Recollections of Henry Burstow, edited by Helen Poole, published 21 March 2016 (Horsham Museum Society) accessible at: Horsham Museum Society

Published in 1911 it transformed our idea of Horsham and became a classic of working men's autobiographical writing. Written with quill pen or steal nib, dipped in ink and printed by hand set type on thick rough paper Henry Burstow's Reminiscences of Horsham was a child of the Edwardian era. Now friends of Horsham Museum using the latest digital technology and laser printing have created a new version of the masterpiece for sale. Henry Burstow's Reminiscences of Horsham has been re-imagined for today's readers, to re-awaken our understanding of Horsham in the age of Queen Victoria.
