In the early part of the 1900s this building was a men's outfitters known as Stapley's, a beautiful building really with wooden shop fronts . . . and a focal point in a busy high street. Obviously The Horley Bookshop didn't care and it became a pretty ugly building in a poor state of repair. People just walking past. Sad.
