The town exists off the A303 road, a major course in between London as well as South West England, as well as has some light sector. The town and also electoral ward has a population of 5,272. In the late 1890s the West Surrey Central Dairy Company acquired a regional creamery. In 1908, after developing a dried out milk talcum powder, it changed its name to Cow & Gate. The creamery as well as milk items manufacturing facility had its own home sidings from the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway station, offering accessibility for milk trains. In order to handle the transportation troubles across its promptly increasing creamery, milk bottling as well as front door distribution network, Cow & Gate formed a committed logistics arm in 1920. Spun out in 2002 from successor business Unigate, Wincanton PLC is the UK's second largest logistics company. The business still has a dairy items base in the town, although its head office function transferred to Chippenham, Wiltshire in 2005. In 1999, Unigate offered its staying dairies products to Dairy Crest, which still has a creamery as well as milk handling plant in the town, yet has marketed celebrity business to Adams Foods Ltd., producer of the Pilgrim's Choice brand name of Cheddar cheese, in 2010 the second best selling brand name in the UK.
