What is Frogsbridge?
« on: Friday 10 June 05 07:30 BST (UK) »
I`ve got a birth certificate from 1854. The birth took place in Frogsbridge Hadlow. Hadlow was easy enough to find on a map, but what would Frogsbridge be?

There is a frog bridge a couple of miles to the west of Hadlow on what is now the A227 Shipbourne Road. 

If you enter the co-ordinates  559750,149250  in the Old maps web site 

http://www.old-maps.co.uk 

it should be in the centre of the map.  Also in my 0S country street atlas for West Kent a Frogbridge Wood is shown adjacent the bridge.
Hope this helps
Regards, Kevin

Thanks for that information, Kevin. I didn`t know about The Old Maps web site  and found it very good.
