Station Approach leads up from the centre of the village to the railway station, a fact made clear by the modern Southern Railway sign. The Hassocks name has nothing to do with having warm feet, but derives from an Old English word meaning 'clump of coarse grass'. The village is entirely a 19th century creation that developed after the railway station opened.
