Tanbridge House

Built in 1887 with the profits of the railway boom by Sir Thomas Oliver. It was the home of Horsham High School for girls from 1924 to 1979. It has since been converted into apartments with the grounds being filled with houses. Subsequent to posting this image I was researching another location on the West Sussex Past website http://www.westsussexpast.org/pictures/ and found a postcard of this building from 1933 http://www.westsussexpast.org/pictures/GetImage.ashx?db=Catalog&type=default&fname=PP_WSL_PC004774+copy.jpg which appears to have been taken from exactly the same angle but slightly further away producing an almost identical image. Perhaps I do have a photographer's eye, albeit an old fashioned one!
