Burgess Hill, in West Sussex, had a population of around 32,000 at the 2021 census — a town shaped by clay and the railway.
From Clay Pits to Commuter Town
Burgess Hill was little more than a scattering of hamlets until the London to Brighton railway opened a station there in 1841. Local clay deposits fuelled a thriving brick, tile and pottery-making industry through the Victorian era, with products from Burgess Hill's works used in buildings across the South East, before the town grew into the commuter town it is today.
What that history doesn't leave behind
This town's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Burgess Hill shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online is more consistent — many Burgess Hill shoppers would otherwise have to travel to Brighton or Haywards Heath for a wider selection.
