Latest reviews | Events in Burgess Hill
Burgess Hill - 11 miles north of Brighton, 4 miles south of Haywards Heath, is a fairly modern town having grown with the opening of the London to Brighton railway. It was known as Burgesthill in 1597 and is probably named after the family of John Burgeys a land owner in the 14th century; which `Hill` is still open to speculation. Until the opening of the railway most of the land that the town now sits on was common land -St.Johns Common - and was used for grazing, foraging and collecting fuel. It was also the site of the midsummer fair held since the C14th on the 24th June, the last Sheep & Lamb fair was held in 1912. By the early C17th brick and tile making was flourishing and alehouses & shops began to make an appearance. The popularity of Brighton in the late C18th saw an increase in traffic along the Cuckfield to Brighton road with many stopping a Burgess Hill, especially after the road was improved (Turnpiked) in 1770. The railway station opened in 1841 and it had an immediate effect on Burgess Hill with many seeing it as an ideal place to live whilst using the railway to travel to work; Burgess Hill had become one of the first `Commuter` towns. By the turn of the C20th the population had increased to 4500 and many of the Victorian houses and terraces are still to be found in the town. expansion still continues apace and today the population is around 29000. Until 1974 Burgess Hill was in East Sussex but `went west` in 1974 in the local government reorganisation of that year.
