Forest Row
Forest Row is a town and also fairly huge civil parish in the Wealden Area of East Sussex, England. The town 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 village draws its name from its closeness to the Ashdown Forest, a royal searching park very first enclosed in the 13th century. From its origins as a small hamlet, Forest Row has actually expanded, initially with the establishment of a turnpike road in the 18th century; and also 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 program of closures put forward by East Grinstead local as well as British Railways Board Chairman Richard Beeching.
