Hassocks
Hassocks is a large village and civil parish in the Mid Sussex district of West Sussex. Its name is believed to derive from the tufts of grass found in the surrounding fields.
Located approximately 7 miles (11.3 km) north of Brighton, with a population of 6,821, the area now occupied by Hassocks was a collection of small houses and a coaching house until the 19th century, when work started on the London to Brighton railway. The village has excellent rail links both north and south to London and Brighton and is very close to the South Downs.
Today Hassocks has a wide variety of shops including two cafes, specialist shops like the long established delicatessen, a florist, picture framer & optician, a couple of restaurants, (Indian and Chinese) and a well-used community centre called Adastra Hall.
