Forest Row
Forest Row is a town as well as relatively huge civil parish in the Wealden Area of East Sussex, England. The town lies 3 miles (5 kilometres) south-east of East Grinstead. An electoral ward in the exact same name exists. The population of this ward taken at the 2011 Census was 5,278. The town attracts its name from its closeness to the Ashdown Forest, a royal hunting park initial confined in the 13th century. From its origins as a little community, Forest Row has actually grown, initially with the establishment of a turnpike road in the 18th century; and also later with the opening of the railway in between East Grinstead and also 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 citizen as well as British Railways Board Chairman Richard Beeching.
