Hassocks history
Prehistoric up to 19th Century
The area first became a centre of population around 20,000 years ago during the Stone Age. Around 600 B.C. the first metal workers came to the area with the beginning of the Bronze Age. A good example of an Iron Age fort is to be found on the top of the nearby Wolstonbury Hill. The area was colonised by the Romans and a Roman cemetery was found by Stonepound Crossroads.
Modern History
Hassocks Gate station opened on 21 September 1841 on the London to Brighton railway. South of the village the railway passes beneath the chalk escarpment of the South Downs through Clayton Tunnel, which at 6,777 feet (2,066 m) is the longest of the five tunnels on the railway. In 1861 a collision between two trains within the tunnel killed 23 people and injured 176 others.
