Forest Row
Forest Row is a village and fairly large civil parish in the Wealden Area of East Sussex, England. The village is located three 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 draws its name from its proximity to the Ashdown Forest, a royal searching park first confined in the 13th century. From its beginnings as a little district, Forest Row has expanded, first 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 as well as Tunbridge Wells in 1866; the line, which included an intermediate station at Forest Row, closed in 1967 as a result of the programme of closures advanced by East Grinstead resident as well as British Railways Board Chairman Richard Beeching.
