  William Sadler Franks (1851-1935) was astronomer-in-charge at F.J. Hanbury's
private observatory at Brockhurst, near East Grinstead, Sussex, from 1909 until
his death in 1935. This paper reviews the observational projects Franks
undertook at Brockhurst, including his work on double stars, red stars, diffuse
nebulae and dark nebulae, as well as his involvement with the commissioning of
a 24-inch reflector built by Thomas William Bush (1839-1928).
