East Grinstead

From Wiki Sussex

Jump to: navigation, search

East Grinstead is a town and civil parish in Mid Sussex, West Sussex on the Greenwich Meridian and near the East Sussex, Surrey, and Kent borders. In 1974 East Grinstead was in the county of East Sussex but it was moved, along with Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill during a boundary re-organisation. The High Street contains the longest continuous run of 14th-century timber-framed buildings in England.

There are proposals for a complete reconstruction of large parts of the town centre with a new town square as its focal point. Priority locations include Queensway car park, Queens Walk and West Street and the train station.

The simple concrete construction of the train station is seen as unattractive and a bad gateway into the town. It was built to replace a grand wooden Victorian era station that was sold and moved to the USA.
