Hassocks
Hassocks is a big village and also civil parish in the Mid Sussex area of West Sussex, England. Its name is believed to stem from the tufts of turf located in the bordering fields. Found approximately 7 miles (11 km) north of Brighton, with a population of 7,667, the area currently inhabited by Hassocks was simply a collection of small houses and also a mentoring residence until the 19th century, when job began on the London to Brighton train. Hassocks up until 2000 was just a postal district and prior to that the name of the railway station. The Parishes were named Clayton and also Keymer and also it is believed that when the railway was available in 1841 the Parish Councils were given the opportunity of calling the terminal. However they could not agree and also at some point the directors of the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway quit waiting as well as called the station Hassocks Gate themselves. Hassocks has a mix of stores. The town also takes advantage of having a well-used community centre called Adastra Hall which is used for a vast array of area as well as personal events.
