Hassocks
Hassocks is a huge village and also civil parish in the Mid Sussex district of West Sussex, England. Its name is thought to derive from the tufts of grass located in the surrounding fields. Situated roughly 7 miles (11 kilometres) north of Brighton, with a population of 7,667, the area now inhabited by Hassocks was simply a collection of small houses and a coaching residence until the 19th century, when work started on the London to Brighton train. Hassocks until 2000 was simply a postal district and prior to that the name of the train station. The Parishes were named Clayton and also Keymer as well as it is thought that when the railway came in 1841 the Parish Councils were given the chance of naming the station. However they could not concur and at some point the supervisors of the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway quit waiting as well as named the station Hassocks Gate themselves. Hassocks has a combination of stores. The village also benefits from having a well-used neighborhood centre called Adastra Hall which is made use of for a large range of neighborhood and also personal occasions. The former council buildings real estate the roadway maintenance division on London Road have actually been destroyed and also have become a variety of residences, whilst the land provided to individuals of Hassocks (via East Sussex County Council) by a benefactor, formerly made use of by a kids's charity, was built on in 2014/15 the charity having actually claimed ownership.
