Hurst Road, Horsham
A postcard from Johnnie to his Grandma when he was visiting Horsham in July 1907. A postcard with the same image was sent to John by his auntie Sarah. John's great grandparents ran a dairy business from Bowling Green that was on the south side of Hurst Lane.
These messages were written 4 years apart and John's hand writing had become more flamboyant over that time away from the influence of the classroom.
