sentences:  Local Industry
  Historically, local industry was primarily agricultural with many of the former residents working for one or other of the major farms located in the immediate area.Traditional farming activities included fruit and arable farming, with extensive hop gardens, as evidenced by the oasts of The Roundels and Reed Court Farm, on Hunton Road and those at Whitehurst and adjacent to Platt House, which are both found on Dairy Lane.There is also a compound of "Hoppers Huts", located south of the bridge over the Beult, which provided accommodation for seasonal workers who came to the area to help with the annual harvest.
