Hassocks
Hassocks is a large town and civil parish in the Mid Sussex district of West Sussex, England. Its name is thought to derive from the tufts of turf discovered in the bordering areas. Located roughly 7 miles (11 km) north of Brighton, with a population of 7,667, the location currently inhabited by Hassocks was just a collection of cottages and a training residence up until the 19th century, when work began on the London to Brighton train. Hassocks up until 2000 was just a postal area and also before that the name of the railway station. The Parishes were called Clayton as well as Keymer and it is thought that when the train came in 1841 the Parish Councils were offered the possibility of calling the station. However they can not concur and eventually the directors of the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway gave up waiting as well as named the station Hassocks Gate themselves. Hassocks has a mix of shops. The village likewise gains from having a well-used neighborhood centre called Adastra Hall which is used for a wide variety of area as well as private occasions. The former council buildings real estate the road maintenance department on London Road have actually been demolished as well as have become a number of homes, whilst the land provided to the people of Hassocks (by means of East Sussex County Council) by a benefactor, formerly made use of by a kids's charity, was built upon in 2014/15 the charity having actually asserted possession.
