Hassocks - Gallery

Gallery

• One of the oldest surviving parts of Hassocks: the terrace of cottages opposite the railway station, dating from the mid-19th century.

• The Down platform buildings, consisting of a long, low shelter. A secondary ticket office was in use here until 1997. The Hassocks pub (formerly The Hassocks Hotel) is visible in the background.

• This brook, a tributary of the River Adur, winds through many parts of the village, and passes under Keymer Road at this point by way of "Spitalford Bridge". Flooding has occasionally occurred here. The building on the right is Adastra Place, a new development of shops and 12 apartments on the site of a former car showroom.

• Many parts of Hassocks have good views of the South Downs, including Parklands Road - a long street of terraced houses leading south from Keymer Road.

• Keymer Road looking west, towards the station. Spitalford Bridge is next to the white building on the left, and the partly built Adastra Place development is beyond that. Parklands Road is immediately to the left of the white building.

• Adastra Hall, the main hall and meeting place in the village, was built in 1987 on the site of a previous hall. Adastra Park's south field starts on the extreme right.

• The recently built centre for the Parish Council, adjacent to Adastra Hall.

• A view across the south field of Adastra Park. The north field is behind the hedges.

• The south field with the skate park in the foreground and the sports pavilions in the distance, separated by a small car park.

• In the south-east corner of the park there is a walled garden commemorating the casualties of war, some of whose names are inscribed in the wood of this gateway.

• Oldland Mill, November 2007.
