65 aerial images of varying focal length taken from two locations; Graylands Copse and a little way east of Old Holbrook, in the Parish of North Horsham, West Sussex on 11 May 2025; a gloriously sunny day which afforded clear and detailed views of Horsham and southwards towards the Downs.
I have annotated many of the photos.
The first group of photographs are taken from the Graylands Copse area between Langhurstwood Road and Old Holbrook
