 An old cottage standing back from the high road to the station near the entrance to Bullbeggar's Lane is still known as the Pest House.The railway or "Croydon and East Grinstead line" was opened in 1884 including a station then named "Marden Park" (as it was in Godstone parish then), and a tunnel was built to take the line under the high wolds (or rolling uplands) that make up most of the village.The Garden Village is a former army camp.
