Summary
| Description |
English: High Street Robertsbridge was a medieval development that grew around the Cistercian Priory and the subsequent bridge built by the monks over the nearby River Rother to cater for the Hastings-London road. The village was prosperous between the 14th-16th centuries judging by the number of Wealden Hall Houses built along the village street due to the travelling trade and as the site of both a local market and fair. The former continued into the 18th century being a popular stop for coaches and the street remained the busy A21 until 1992 when a new by-pass was built to the east of the village bringing peace to the main village street. Whilst a small village, Robertsbridge, is one of the larger settlements in one of the less populous areas of the Weald and has therefore retained a number of services with a number of shops, a bank, vets, three pubs and a couple of restaurants. |
