In more recent times it's adjacency to the land purchased by the government to create R.A.F. Watton during WW2 gave it an association with both the British and American servicemen operating from there.
Today it comprises some 250 dwellings, 2 of which are thatched and a small number of thriving light industrial units, as well as Wayland Prison which opened in 1985 and today houses up to 1000 inmates.
