Industries in Wing

The majority of people in Wing worked in occupations that you might expect of a large rural village - plenty of farmers and ag labs and the usual assortment of tradesmen needed to supply the village's needs. I'll be preparing overviews of each of those occupational groups, as well as particular industries found in Wing.

So far on this website, you can learn about.....

Straw-plaiting - a home industry undertaken by many of the women (and children) of Wing.

Brick-making - took place at the Littleworth brickworks where the local clay was put to good economic use.
