Forest Row
Forest Row is a town and fairly large 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 village attracts its name from its closeness to the Ashdown Forest, a royal searching park initial enclosed in the 13th century. From its origins as a tiny hamlet, Forest Row has grown, first with the establishment of a turnpike road in the 18th century; as well as later with the opening of the train 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 advanced by East Grinstead homeowner as well as British Railways Board Chairman Richard Beeching.
