High Brooms
High Brooms is a suburb of Tunbridge Wells in the parish of Southborough, with its own railway station and a brick-making past.
High Brooms is a suburb of Royal Tunbridge Wells in Kent. It lies within the civil parish of Southborough and forms part of the town's East or High Brooms ward, one of three wards represented on Southborough Town Council. The area's industrial past is tied to clay: the High Brooms Brick and Tile Company operated here between 1885 and 1968, excavating clay as its main business.
Nearby green space includes Southborough Common, the 71-acre common on the north-western side of Southborough, which has ancient woodland, wood pasture and relic heathland with self-guided walking routes.
High Brooms is best known to travellers for its railway station, High Brooms, which provides connections to London and Hastings.
