Other nearby towns include Haywards Heath to the north and Lewes, the county town of East Sussex, to the east.
Burgess Hill is mainly situated just on the West Sussex side of the border dividing the two counties.
Parts of the town are across the county boundary in East Sussex.
With the development of the London to Brighton mainline railway, however, those in the business soon realised that taking sheep by train was much cheaper and easier than using the old roadways.
Most of the animal trading business began to revolve around rail side markets such as those at Hassocks, Haywards Heath and Lewes train stations.
By the start of the 20th century, the animal trading business had all but left the Burgess Hill area.
1700 to 1900
By the early seventeenth century there was a lot of small brick and tile making companies and during this time pieces of common land were given for house building and small businesses.
By the early eighteenth century brick making had been extended and four shops and one or two drinking houses were established on the common.
Brickmaking by hand still happened until very recently, by Keymer Tiles (formerly the Keymer Brick and Tile company) whose tiles can be found in buildings such as St. James Church, Piccadilly and Manchester Central Station (now G-Mex).
The growth of Brighton in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries brought in professional people looking for places to live.
Between 1850 and 1880 the area changed from a small rural settlement to a town of 4,500 residents.
In 1897 the Victoria Pleasure Gardens were opened by local household name Edwin Street, a well-known farmer and butcher.
The gardens were opened in honour of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, and contained a large lake, and what can only be described as a small early version of a roller coaster, known as a switchback .
The lake was used for boating in the summer, and skating in the winter.
The frozen lake was always tested by Mr Street, a man of 23 stone, before being used in the winter.
This area is now the Victoria Business Park.
1900 to present day
The town gradually grew bigger, having its largest population increase between the years of 1951 and 1961, when the population of about 7,000 residents almost doubled.
This earned Burgess Hill the title of fastest growing town in the south-east.
By 1956, the Victoria Industrial Estate was completed, and has since expanded.
It now contains the local headquarters of two large international companies.
In 1986 a smaller industrial estate to in the north of the town developed, known as Sheddingdean Industrial Estate.
Both Sheddingdean and Victoria have now been renamed as business parks.
The next substantial development was Priory Village in the south west of Burgess Hill, sometimes known as the Tesco estate, due to its proximity to the supermarket.
Again, this brought in a mix of incomes, again, many of them young families.
Although now part of the town, World's End, to the north of the town, was originally a separate community.
It still retains its own shops and community association, and is served by Wivelsfield railway station.

He is particularly remembered for his Piano Concerto and for his church music, especially the anthem Greater love hath no man, the song The Holy Boy and the hymn tune to My song is love unknown.
He had an unhappy childhood, and he always felt unsure of himself and rather lonely.
John Ireland was born in Bowdon, Greater Manchester.
His father, who was 70 years old, was  a publisher who owned a newspaper.
He had married for a second time after his wife had died, and John was the youngest of five children from the second marriage.
His mother was 30 years younger than her husband.
When John was 14 his mother died, and his father died the next year.
John Ireland studied piano and organ at the Royal College of Music.
Later he also had composition lessons from Charles Villiers Stanford.

His best-known piece is the song The Holy Boy.
It is heard in many different arrangements.
His songs to poems by A. E. Housman, Thomas Hardy, Christina Rossetti, John Masefield, Rupert Brooke and others, are among some of the best English art songs.. He also wrote hymns, carols, and other sacred choral music; among choirs he is probably best known for the anthem Greater love hath no man, often sung in services that remember the victims of war.
Another choral work, These things shall be expresses his deepest hopes for mankind, although in his last years he said that he hated the work.

Frank Bridge (born Brighton, 26 February 1879; died Eastbourne,  10 January 1941) was an English composer, violist and conductor.
His music often sounded quite modern to the people of his day.
He wrote many excellent works including chamber music as well as orchestral music.
One of his composition pupils was Benjamin Britten.
Later Britten remembered his teacher by using one of Bridge’s tunes and making them into a piece of music called Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge.
Bridge was born in Brighton and studied at the Royal College of Music in London from 1899 to 1903.
One of his teachers was  Charles Villiers Stanford.
He played the viola in several string quartets and conducted many orchestras.
He learned difficult music very quickly, and sometimes Henry Wood asked him to take his place when he was not well enough to conduct himself.
After a while he spent most of his time composing.
He privately taught several pupils, including Benjamin Britten, who later helped to make his teacher's music better known and honoured him in his Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge for string orchestra (1937), based on a theme from the second of Bridge's Three Idylls for String Quartet (1906).
Bridge’s early works show the influence of Johannes Brahms and Charles Villiers Stanford.
He wrote some excellent chamber music and songs.
The Phantasie Quartet and the String Quartet no 1 show his talent.
His later pieces such as the third (1926) and fourth (1937) string quartets have quite complicated harmonies and show his interest in the music of Schoenberg as well as the harmonies of Maurice Ravel and Alexander Scriabin.
His most important orchestral works include The Sea and Summer.
He wrote some lovely chamber music for the cello as well as many songs.
In his later years his harmonies become quite advanced, for example a favourite chord of his can be found by playing a C minor chord and a D major chord together.
In his longer pieces the speed of the music often changes and he avoids repeating himself exactly.
For a long time after his death his music was hardly ever played, but more recently musicians have discovered the greatness of his compositions.
Pianists like to play the popular piano piece called Rosemary.

The WWE generally stays for three days.
Overall, WWE has traveled to Iraq and Afghanistan six consecutive times since 2003.

Falsifiability  is a concept from philosophy of science that says that it is possible to prove that a theory is wrong.
There are different ways in which it can be done.
The easiest way to do it is to find an example where the theory should apply, but somehow does not.
As an example: Swans are birds related to ducks and geese.
Today, several species of swans are known.
For most people in Europe, a swan is a large white bird: The only species of swan that occurs in Europe is white.
Several hundred years back, people in Europe therefore thought that all Swans were white.
In 1697, the Dutch explorer Willem de Vlamingh found black birds that looked like swans, during an expedition on the shores of Swan River, in Australia.
Later, it turned out these birds were indeed swans.
With his discovery, de Vlamingh had falsified the theory that all Swans were white.
Kurt Gödel showed that certain propositions inside a system of logic cannot be proved inside that system.
Closely related to this is the fact that some statements are undecidable (This statement is false, see paradox).
Undecidable statements cannot be falsified
Falsification is to prove that a theory is wrong.
This is done in the following way: There is a set of statements (which are logically sound, and do not contradict each other) called theory.
If a single logical statement can be found, which is also logically sound, and which contradicts one of the statements in the theory, then the theory is proven wrong.
This can be done with observation, as in the example with the Swans above.
It can also be done using mathematical logic, using  induction.
Karl Popper had the opinion that only theories that are falsifiable are scientific.<ref>Thornton, Stephen,  "Karl Popper," Stanford Encyclopedia of PhilosophyWinter 2011);  "Science, Pseudo-Science, and Falsifiability,"  1962; retrieved 2012-5-8.</ref> Falsifiability is then a line between science and other kinds of knowledge: if it can be refuted, it is science; it if cannot, then it is not science.
Many working scientists think Popper was right.
Not everyone agreed with this: Pierre Duhem and Paul Feyerabend had different ideas.
Feyerabend's Against method (1975) argued that there was no one scientific method.
Instead, whatever works, works and anything goes.
This is called epistemological anarchy''.
Duhem's idea was more subtle.
He thought that for any given set of observations there is a huge and uncountable number of explanations.
According to Duhem, an experiment in physics is not just an observation, but an interpretation of observations by means of a theoretical framework.
Furthermore, no matter how well one constructs one's experiment, it is impossible to subject an isolated single hypothesis to an experimental test.
Instead, it is a whole interlocking group of hypotheses, background assumptions, and theories that is tested.
This thesis has come to be known as holism.
According to Duhem, it makes crucial experiments impossible.
Kenosha is a city in Kenosha County in the state of Wisconsin.
It is part of the Chicago Metropolitan Area, but is nearer to Milwaukee than it is to Chicago.
It is the fourth biggest city in the state after Milwaukee, Madison, and Green Bay.
Locality of reference is a phenomenon that can be seen in Computer science.
It says that the same value, or the place where it is stored is accessed often.
There are two different kinds of locality of reference:
Temporal locality: If a value is referenced, there is a high probability it will be referenced again a short time from now
Spatial locality: A value is stored in a certain location in storage (memory, disk,..).
If this location is referenced, it is very probable that locations that are physically close to it will be referenced as well.
Predictability: Well-written programs only behave in a predictable way.
Structure of the program: Often programs act on several items, one at a time.
This item will be accessed more than once as computation or processing is done.
Linear data structures: Programs may have loops that act on arrays or lists.
They reference an item by its index in the array or list.
Increase the locality of reference by changing the program
Hardware can be built to exploit the locality of reference.
Caching is very successful because of locality of reference.

A tape drive or streamer is a component that is often attached to a computer.
It is used to write data to magnetic tape or to read data from it.
Usually people use it to do backups.
Tape drives are different from hard drives in that the access to the data is sequential (in order).
This means to read a certain part of data, all the data before it needs to be read as well.
Also tape drives are slow, compared to hard drives.
Current capacities range from tens of gigabytes to almost a terabyte, per cartridge.
A Cache algorithm is an algorithm used to manage a cache or group of data.
When the cache is full, it decides which item should be deleted from the cache.
The word hit rate describes how often a request can be served from the cache.
The term latency describes for how long a cached item can be obtained.
Cache alorithms are a trade-off between hit-rate and latency.
The most efficient caching algorithm would be to always discard the information that will not be needed for the longest time in the future.
This optimal result is referred to as Belady's optimal algorithm or the clairvoyant algorithm.
Since it is generally impossible to predict how far in the future information will be needed, this is generally not implementable in practice.
The practical minimum can be calculated only after experimentation, and one can compare the effectiveness of the actually chosen cache algorithm with the optimal minimum.
Least Recently Used (LRU): deletes the least recently used items first.
This algorithm requires keeping track of what was used when.
This is expensive if one wants to make sure the algorithm always discards the least recently used item.
General implementations of this technique require to keep "age bits" for cache-lines and track the "Least Recently Used" cache-line based on age-bits.
In such implementation, every time a cache-line is used, the age of all other cache-lines changes.
LRU is actually a family of caching algorithms with members including: 2Q by Theodore Johnson and Dennis Shasha and LRU/K by Pat O'Neil, Betty O'Neil and Gerhard Weikum.
Most Recently Used (MRU): This algorithm deletes the most recently used items first.
This caching mechanism is commonly used  for  database memory caches.
Pseudo-LRU (PLRU): There are certain cases where LRU is very difficult to implement.
In such cases it may be enough to know that in most cases, one of the least recently used items is deleted.
The PLRU algorithm can be used there, because it only needs one bit per cache item to work.
2-way set associative: for high-speed CPU caches where even PLRU is too slow.
The address of a new item is used to calculate one of two possible locations in the cache where it is allowed to go.
The LRU of the two is discarded.
This requires one bit per pair of cache lines, to indicate which of the two was the least recently used.
Direct-mapped cache: for the highest-speed CPU caches where even 2-way set associative caches are too slow.
The address of the new item is used to calculate the one location in the cache where it is allowed to go.
Whatever was there before is discarded.
Least Frequently Used (LFU): LFU counts how often an item is needed.
Those that are used least often are discarded first.
Adaptive Replacement Cache (ARC): constantly balances between LRU and LFU, to improve combined result.
Multi Queue (MQ) caching algorithm: (by Y. Zhou J.F. Philbin and Kai Li).
Items with different cost: keep items that are expensive to obtain, e.g. those that take a long time to get.
Items taking up more cache: If items have different sizes, the cache may want to discard a large item to store several smaller ones.
Items that expire with time: Some caches keep information that expires (e.g. a news cache, a DNS cache, or a web browser cache).
The computer may discard items because they are expired.
Depending on the size of the cache no further caching algorithm to discard items may be necessary.
Various algorithms also exist to maintain cache coherency.
This applies only to situation where multiple independent caches are used for the same data (for example multiple database servers updating the single shared data file).

Thermodynamic entropy is a measure of how organized or disorganized energy is present in a system of atoms or molecules.
It is measured in joules of energy per unit kelvin.
Entropy is an important part of the third law of thermodynamics.
Imagine that a group of molecules has ten units of energy.
If the energy in those molecules is perfectly organized, then the molecules can do ten units of work.
However, if the energy became less organized (so, the entropy increased), the molecules might only be able to do six units of work, even though they still have ten units of energy in them.
When total entropy is reached, there is no more energy to spend.
A good example of this is a cup of hot tea.
The tea has a lot of energy compared to the room the tea is in.
Over time the heat in the tea will spread into the room.
The tea will become colder.
This is because the energy (heat) in the tea moves to the surrounding area.
Once the tea became cold, there is no more heat that can be spread.
The tea has reached total entropy.
There are two types of these "rooms": An open system and a closed system.
An open system means that energy (like heat) can freely flow in and out of the room.
A closed system means that the room is closed off from the outside; no energy can go in or out.
In the case of the tea, the room was a closed system; no energy could enter it.
But we can also make it an open system by placing a heater into the room.
If we turn on the heater, we can use the heat from it to reheat the cup of tea.
New energy has been brought into the room.
The entropy has thus decreased.
The heat that went from the heater into the tea can then move into the room again until total entropy has been reached.
This is what the second law of thermodynamics is about.
A real life example of an open system is the Earth.
It gets a lot of energy from the Sun every day.
This allows plants to grow and water to stay liquid.
If we took away the Sun, plants would die and water would freeze because the surface of our planet would be too cold.
Cornell University ( ) is in Ithaca, New York, United States.
It is a private land-grant university, receiving annual funding from the State of New York for certain educational missions.
Ezra Cornell and Andrew Dickson White co-founded it in 1865 by sponsoring a bill in the New York State Legislature to designate it as New York's land grant college.
The university was intended to teach and make contributions in all fields of knowledge–from the classics to the sciences and from the theoretical to the applied.
This goal was uncommon in 1865.
The goal is stated in Cornell's motto, an 1865 Ezra Cornell quotation: "I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study."
Since its founding, Cornell has also been a co-educational, secular institution where admission is offered irrespective of gender, religion or race.
The university has seven undergraduate colleges and seven graduate divisions at its main Ithaca campus, with each college and division defining its own admission standards and academic programs in near autonomy.
The university also administers two satellite medical campuses, one in New York City and one in Education City, Qatar.
Cornell is one of two private land grant universities, and its seven undergraduate colleges include three state-supported statutory or contract colleges.
As a land grant college, it also operates a cooperative extension outreach program in every county of New York.
Cornell counts more than 255,000 living alumni, 31 Marshall Scholars, 28 Rhodes Scholars and 41 Nobel laureates as affiliated with the university.
It has 13,000 undergraduate and 6,000 graduate students from all 50 states and 122 countries.
Cornell's athletics teams are called the Big Red, and they have 36 varsity teams.
They play against other teams in the Ivy League.
Cornell is divided into colleges.
Each operates independently and has its own faculty and admission process: The "statutory" or "contract" colleges (which receive direct funding from the New York state government) have "New York State" in their name.
Residents of New York who are enrolled in these colleges pay less tuition than other students at the university.
Cornell calls its other colleges "endowed colleges".

College of Architecture, Art, and Planning, founded in 1871
College of Arts and Sciences, founded in 1865
College of Engineering, founded in 1870
School of Hotel Administration, founded in 1922, became an independent college in 1950

Cornell also had two other colleges that closed.
The New York State College of Forrestry closed in 1903.
The Nursing School closed in 1979.
Cornell, a research university, produces the fourth largest number of graduates in the world who go on to pursue PhDs in engineering or the natural sciences at American institutions.
It is also fifth in the world in producing graduates who pursue PhDs at American institutions in any field.
Research is a central element of Cornell's mission.
In 2009 Cornell spent $671 million on science and engineering research and development.
This makes it the 16th highest in the United States.
For the 2004–05 fiscal year, the university spent $561.3 million on research.
Of Cornell's units, the largest amount of this funding went to the colleges of Medicine ($164.2 million), Agriculture and Life Sciences ($114.5 million), Arts and Sciences ($80.3 million), and Engineering ($64.8 million).
The money comes largely from federal sources, with federal investment of $381.0 million.
The federal agencies that invest the most money are the Department of Health and Human Services and the National Science Foundation that make up, respectively, 51.4% and 30.7% of all federal investment in the university.
Cornell was on the top-ten list of U.S. universities receiving the most patents in 2003, and was one of the nation's top five institutions in forming start-up companies.
In 2004–05, Cornell received 200 invention disclosures, filed 203 U.S. patent applications, completed 77 commercial license agreements, and distributed royalties of more than $4.1 million to Cornell units and inventors.
Since 1962, Cornell has been involved in unmanned missions to Mars.
In the 21st century, Cornell had a hand in the Mars Exploration Rover Mission.
Cornell's Steve Squyres, Principal Investigator for the Athena Science Payload, led the selection of the landing zones and requested data collection features for the Spirit and Opportunity rovers.
Jet Propulsion Laboratory engineers took those requests and designed the rovers to meet them.
The rovers, both of which have operated long past their original life expectancies, are responsible for the discoveries that were awarded 2004 Breakthrough of the Year honors by Science.
Control of the Mars rovers has shifted between NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory at Caltech and Cornell's Space Sciences Building.
Further, Cornell researchers discovered the rings around the planet Uranus.
Also, Cornell built and operated the world's largest and most sensitive radiotelescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico.
In 1952, John O. Moore at the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory began the Automotive Crash Injury Research project. (
In 1972, the lab was separated from the University as Calspan Corporation.)
It pioneered the use of crash testing, originally using corpses rather than dummies.
The project discovered that improved door locks, energy-absorbing steering wheels, padded dashboards, and seat belts could prevent an extraordinary percentage of injuries.
The project led Liberty Mutual to fund the building of a demonstration Cornell Safety Car in 1956, which received national publicity and influenced carmakers.
Carmakers soon started their own crash-test laboratories and gradually adopted many of the Cornell innovations.
Other ideas, such as rear-facing passenger seats, were less popular.
In 1984, the National Science Foundation began work on establishing five new supercomputer centers, including the Cornell Center for Advanced Computing, to provide high-speed computing resources for research within the United States.
In 1985, a team from the National Center for Supercomputing Applications began the development of NSFNet, a TCP/IP-based computer network that could connect to the ARPANET, at the Cornell Center for Advanced Computing and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
This high-speed network, unrestricted to academic users, became a backbone to which regional networks would be connected.
Initially a 56-kbit/s network, traffic on the network grew exponentially; the links were upgraded to 1.5 Mbit/s T1s in 1988 and to 45 Mbit/s in 1991.
The NSFNet was a major milestone in the development of the Internet and its rapid growth coincided with the development of the World Wide Web.
Cornell scientists have researched the fundamental particles of nature for more than 70 years.
Cornell physicists, such as Hans Bethe, contributed not only to the foundations of nuclear physics but also participated in the Manhattan Project.
In the 1930s, Cornell built the second cyclotron in the United States.
In the 1950s, Cornell physicists became the first to study synchrotron radiation.
During the 1990s, the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, beneath Alumni Field, was the world's highest-luminosity electron-positron collider.
After building the synchrotron at Cornell, Robert R. Wilson took a leave of absence to become the founding director of Fermilab, which involved designing and building the Tevatron, the largest accelerator in the United States.
