Forest Row
Forest Row is a town as well as reasonably large civil parish in the Wealden Area of East Sussex, England. The town is located 3 miles (5 km) 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 distance to the Ashdown Forest, an imperial searching park first enclosed in the 13th century. From its beginnings as a small hamlet, Forest Row has actually expanded, initially with the establishment of a turnpike road in the 18th century; as well as later on with the opening of the train 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 advanced by East Grinstead local and British Railways Board Chairman Richard Beeching.
