The B2169 starts on the A267 south of Royal Tunbridge Wells. It goes into East Sussex and passes Frant Railway Station on the London - Hastings line. It then goes through Oxbarrow Wood and goes into Kent and Lamberhurst where it initially crosses the B2100 at 'give way' signs. It is joined by the B2182 and terminates at a roundabout on the A21 TQ6735 : B2169 to Lamberhurst, a total length of 6.5 miles.

The B2023 goes through the back streets of Tunbridge Wells. It starts at a set of traffic lights at the A264 in Calverley Park. It heads south along Prospect Road before turning sharply right onto Camden Hill. The A26 is met at a mini-roundabout just to the south of the station TQ5839 : B2023 and the B2023 multiplexes with it across the railway line before taking the next turn left (meaning that it does not cross the A26) to go along the High Street. The road ends at the other end of the High Street, again on the A26.

R. Palmer Browne designed the first church in 1836–41 in a "coarse" Neo-Norman style using white brick at a cost of £8,500. Derelict by the 1990s, it was declared redundant in February 1996, demolished and replaced with the present combined church and commercial development which retains the Christ Church name.

Tunbridge Wells Station was opened by the South Eastern Railway (SER) on 25th November 1846. It is on "the Hastings line" ( Link ).

The station has a regular service to both London Charing Cross and Hastings as well as shuttles to Tonbridge and some to London Bridge via Redhill. A Grade II listed building. Link

The Grove lies at the centre of the village of Mount Sion, one of the two original settlements from the early days of Tunbridge Wells. Before the discovery of the nearby chalybeate spring, Mount Sion was a remote and neglected corner of the manor of South Frith. In 1684 its owner Viscountess Purbeck realised its potential for development and began selling off plots of land to provide lodgings and other facilities for the visitors who came to drink the medicinal waters. The Grove, which was originally a small wood surrounded by open heathland, remained part of the manor until 1703. In that year Viscountess Purbeck's son, the self-styled Duke of Buckingham, placed the area in trust to be preserved forever as an open space for the benefit of the local inhabitants. In 1782 the townsfolk were worried to discover that the trustees had all died without appointing successors. Remote descendants in different parts of the country had to be sought out and encouraged to appoint new local trustees. At this time the Grove contained about two hundred oaks and ten beeches, as well as many smaller trees. Many improvements were carried out under the direction of William Law Pope, the public-spirited minister of King Charles' Church, who was the leading trustee from 1864. When Tunbridge Wells became a borough in 1889, the newly appointed Council took over control of the Grove from the Trustees and has been responsible for its care ever since. Many older trees were blown down in the Great Storm of October 1987, but as the new trees planted at that time mature the Grove will gradually return to its traditional appearance. (TWBC)
