The Forest Row Practice started in 1876 at "The Elms", the house that stands opposite the health centre.
In 1968 it moved across the Lewes Road to a house on the present site, which was demolished to make way for the present day health centre which opened in 1982. The old oil street lamp at the entrance to the health centre formerly stood outside "The Elms" and was lit nightly by the doctor's coachman to guide the patients to the surgery.
Now electrified, it continues to serve the same purpose more than 100 years later.
