Around the centre of the village are numerous individual businesses along Crowborough Hill, that acts as a high street and ends at Farningham Road. Crowborough railway station, on the Uckfield branch of the Oxted line, was historically known as Crowborough and Jarvis Brook and serves the village.^[3]

To the south, Jarvis Brook has a church that opened in 1876 called the Rethoboth Chapel.

History

Jarvis Brook grew mostly because of the railway, with factories being built around the area. The Crowborough Country Park was a clay quarry that supplied the Crowborough brickworks until it closed in 1980. In 2009, it was turned into a local nature reserve.^[4]
