Forest Row
Forest Row is a village and reasonably big civil parish in the Wealden Area of East Sussex, England. The town is located 3 miles (5 kilometres) 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 village draws its name from its closeness to the Ashdown Forest, a royal hunting park initial confined in the 13th century. From its beginnings as a tiny district, Forest Row has actually grown, 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 also Tunbridge Wells in 1866; the line, which included an intermediate station at Forest Row, closed in 1967 as a result of the program of closures advanced by East Grinstead resident and British Railways Board Chairman Richard Beeching.
