More about this scene
In the 1870s a Dr Prince persuaded Lord Abergavenny, the landowner, to develop this area, bordering the Ashdown Forest and set at a healthy 800 ft above sea level, as a health resort. It is now a commuter town, but retains many of the spacious villas of its health resort days. The 1880s Tudor-style buildings on the left give some impression of the high quality of much of Crowborough's development. The bank is now the Nat West, and beyond the right-hand buildings is the modern Fernbank Shopping Centre.
