How did the Ashford Green Corridor come to be?

Ashford has been growing steadily since the early 19th century. As the town has expanded, land close to the rivers has not usually been built on, due to the risk of flooding because the Borough Council has protected it as green space. 

The resulting undeveloped 'fingers' of land reach right into the heart of Ashford - together they form the Ashford Green Corridor.
