Forest Row
Forest Row is a town and reasonably big 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 same name exists. The population of this ward taken at the 2011 Census was 5,278. The town attracts its name from its distance to the Ashdown Forest, an imperial hunting park initial confined in the 13th century. From its beginnings as a little district, Forest Row has expanded, initially with the establishment of a turnpike road in the 18th century; and also later with the opening of the railway 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 resident and also British Railways Board Chairman Richard Beeching.
