Forest Row
Forest Row is a village and also relatively large civil parish in the Wealden District of East Sussex, England. The village is located three miles (5 kilometres) south-east of East Grinstead. An electoral ward in the very same name exists. The population of this ward taken at the 2011 Census was 5,278. The town draws its name from its proximity to the Ashdown Forest, an imperial hunting park very first enclosed in the 13th century. From its origins as a little hamlet, Forest Row has actually expanded, first with the establishment of a turnpike road in the 18th century; as well as later on with the opening of the train in between East Grinstead as well as Tunbridge Wells in 1866; the line, that included an intermediate station at Forest Row, closed in 1967 as a result of the programme of closures put forward by East Grinstead local and also British Railways Board Chairman Richard Beeching.
