Forest Row
Forest Row is a town as well as reasonably big civil parish in the Wealden District of East Sussex, England. The town lies 3 miles (5 km) south-east of East Grinstead. A selecting ward in the same name exists. The population of this ward taken at the 2011 Census was 5,278. The town attracts its name from its distance to the Ashdown Forest, an imperial searching park very first confined in the 13th century. From its beginnings as a little community, Forest Row has actually expanded, initially with the establishment of a turnpike road in the 18th century; as well as later on with the opening of the railway between East Grinstead and Tunbridge Wells in 1866; the line, that included an intermediate station at Forest Row, closed in 1967 as a result of the program of closures put forward by East Grinstead local and British Railways Board Chairman Richard Beeching.
