Edenbridge
Edenbridge is a community and also civil parish in the Sevenoaks district of Kent, England. Its name stems from Old English Eadhelmsbrigge (meaning "Eadhelm's Bridge"). It is located on the Kent/ Surrey verge on the top floodplain of the River Medway and also provides its name to the latter's tributary, the River Eden. The community has a population of around 9,000. Edenbridge is twinned with Mont-Saint-Aignan in France. The bypass that was built in the very early 2000s to ease website traffic pressure on the old, slim High Street is called Mont St Aignan Way. There are two financial institutions in the community, a post office alongside the church as well as a number of major retail chains. Regardless of being a fairly village, Edenbridge boasts its own medical facility - The Edenbridge War Memorial Hospital. Originally a cottage health center built to care for soldiers returning from The First World War, a purpose developed structure was developed to the south of the town in 1931. With an Out Patients Department, Physical rehabilitation facilities and also a Minor Injuries Unit the hospital is a major part of the fabric of the community. In the last few years the hospital has actually been confronted with closure sometimes, on each event it has been saved by regional campaigners as well as townspeople, who see the hospital as an important part of the community.
