More about this scene
This main street was once part of the Roman road which ran from London to Lewes in West Sussex. The legionaries paved it with ragstone eighteen feet wide and seven inches thick. The Crown Inn, whose signboard hangs above the carriageway, was built in the 15th century by Sir William Taylor, the Lord Mayor of London in 1469.

A Selection of Memories from Edenbridge
For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Edenbridge
Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
As a fourteen year old, I lived for a while in a then new house in Stangrove Road.
It was a welcome change in many ways from the old brick house we had been in in Oxted, Surrey.
One night I thrilled my school friends from Oxted who had visited me by driving them back to the station in my mother's car!! They were most impressed!!
The picture is of the bottom end of Church Street; the old Morris Traveller was my father's car and it is parked as seen outside 72, Church Street. I was born in Edenbridge, and lived in this house until I was 17. I have very happy memories of living down this street, playing rounders, and british bulldog, all the kids in the street use to play together. We were never in doors, always out over the fields to Tank Wood and fishing down the river...'very' happy days.
I was born and brought up in Edenbridge, we lived in Church Street and my gran lived in Lingfield Road. This picture looks like the bottom end of Church Street.
