Borough Green is a large village and civil parish in the Tonbridge and Malling District of Kent, England. The main village is situated on the A25 road between Maidstone and Sevenoaks in Kent.
The name describes what it originally was - the green to which the people of the then borough of Wrotham went for recreation. Its location at a crossroads (the old route from Gravesend to Hastings crossed here) meant that inns were gradually opened:
- 1586 Red Lion
- 1592 Black Horse
- 1753 The Bull
- 1837 Fox & Hounds (now a private house)
The London, Chatham and Dover Railway opened its line to Maidstone on 1 June 1874, and the station of Wrotham and Borough Green was built. Later the names were reversed to Borough Green & Wrotham reflect the fact that the station was in Borough Green; Wrotham is some mile to the north: it also points up the fact of the reversal in village size.
