• This town grows too fast. What was a small quiet town has grown out of control since the early '80s. Too many outsiders, especially Crawlites/Londoners..
• You get lots of imput from people who grew up in Horsham, like myself, it would be great if you could have some contact point for Old Girl/Boys societies. I went to Littlehaven, Chesworth, H.High School, then Collyers and would love to look up friends I have lost touch with. P.S I`m not that Liz Hurley, or then again perhaps I am!

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
