The town was also used to keep a number of important British national treasures, such as the Domesday book, safe during World War II. The traditional wool and silk industries were joined by brewing in the 19th century. The Anglo-Bavarian brewery, still a local landmark, was reputedly the first in England to brew lager. The town is still important in the production of cider, and the drink Babycham is still produced in the town.
