About

High Brooms & Sherwood form a residential district situated to the north of central Tunbridge Wells. The area is characterised by a mix of housing, including many interwar and post-war homes, along with local shopping parades catering to daily needs. It is a practical neighbourhood with good transport links, notably served by its own railway station on the main line to London. The layout includes numerous quiet, tree-lined streets and several small green spaces, such as playing fields, providing informal recreation.

A distinct local feature is the presence of the old High Brooms Brickworks, with its surviving kiln now a scheduled monument within a modern industrial estate. This nod to the area's industrial past contrasts with the predominantly domestic streetscape. The neighbourhood is functional, with schools and community facilities serving its population, and it maintains a separate identity from the town centre while remaining well-connected to it.
