Forest Row
Forest Row is a town and also relatively huge civil parish in the Wealden Area of East Sussex, England. The village lies 3 miles (5 kilometres) south-east of East Grinstead. A selecting 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 distance to the Ashdown Forest, a royal searching park first confined in the 13th century. From its origins as a tiny hamlet, Forest Row has grown, first with the establishment of a turnpike road in the 18th century; and later on with the opening of the train between East Grinstead and 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 citizen and British Railways Board Chairman Richard Beeching.
