The effect of black and white or sepia can often make the people and places in old photographs seem remote and disconnected from reality. Here we present a selection of historic photos of Henfield, in some cases digitally restored before being put through the DeOldify suggestive colourisation algorithm. Dates range from the 1860s to the 1950s.
