Local Paper Horsham

Does anyone know what was the local newspaper for Horsham in the 1930s and where archive copies can be found?
Cheers
Jess

The West Sussex County Times, which is published every Friday, has served the people of the Horsham district for more than 130 years - now it is also providing daily coverage through its website. Our newspaper has always been at the heart of community life, striving to inform and entertain with our unrivalled news, sports and features sections. In this modern digital age we have never been in a better position to ensure we bring you the vital stories within minutes of them happening.
I found the above quote by putting West Sussex County Times in Google ( it was previously Horsham To-da according to the web-site.

There are copies of the West Sussex County Times at Horsham Library and at the British Library, Newspapers at Colindale.

It seems to be the only paper covering Horsham at that time according to the NEWSPLAN South East Region database
