It may surprise some to believe that there is less traffic now (1970) than in the 1920's.
To prove this, comparison of two pictures of the Railway Hotel (renamed the Barnham Hotel) forecourt with scores of open tourers parked outside and another of the men who drove them here, farmers and agricultural dealers at busy Barnham Market, now alas no more.
