Have you ever wondered why the area next to Tonbridge Castle was named The Slade? This small area nestles close to the river and includes The Slade School, The Rugby Club and a late Victorian residential area all of which were built on a low lying moist area that can be prone to flooding. According to Websters Dictionary the definition of 'slade' is a little dell or valley or a flat piece of low, moist ground. Interesting!
