Tonbridge, Market town in Kent, England
Tonbridge extends along the banks of River Medway, featuring medieval structures and modern shopping areas within its central district.
The Norman castle, constructed between 1066 and 1100, stands as a testament to the town's role in medieval English defense systems.
The town maintains numerous listed buildings, including Tonbridge School from 1553, which educated notable figures throughout British history.
The railway station serves as a major transportation hub, connecting travelers to London, Ashford, and Hastings with over 4 million annual passengers.
In 1896, Tonbridge recorded the first speeding ticket in British history when a motorist exceeded the 2 mph speed limit.
