Edenbridge is a small town (some would say, village), on the Kent / Surrey
border. In common with most places of this size (approx. 8,000 population),
it consists of a single main road, with housing estates and industrial areas
to either side.
Edenbridge has a history going back to the Roman period. The high street
road was built about 100AD.
The first mention of Edenbridge in a document was in the Textus Roffensis
about 1122 AD.
Edenbridge, with a population of just under 8,000, is situated in the
extreme south west corner of Kent on the borders of Surrey and Sussex.
It developed in Roman times with the construction of the London to Lewes
road. Along the high street many ancient houses are to be found with the
13th Century church a few yards away. The Great Stone Bridge, crossing the
River Eden, replaces an earlier one of 1831.
Nearby iron workings and the tanning industry (closed in the '60s) gave the
town its prosperity.
The advent of the railways and the Redhill and Uckfield lines, saw a rise in
population. This contributed to the many fine Victorian and Edwardian
houses. Population 9,000
