Hassocks

From Wiki Sussex

Hassocks has a wide variety of shops including two cafes, two restaurants, and a well-used community centre called Adastra Hall. Hassocks village centre is primarily post WW11.

On the skyline above Hassocks there are two windmills, named Clayton Windmills but known locally as Jack and Jill. Jack is a tower mill and was built in 1866. Jill, a post mill, was built in Dyke Road in Brighton in 1821 and was later moved to Clayton in 1852 by a team of oxen. The working life of the mills ended in about 1906, and Jack is now in private ownership; however Jill was restored in 1986 and is open to the public from Easter to September, Sundays and Bank Holidays between 2.00pm and 5.00pm.
