Oakhill's history is steeped in brewing. Many of the village's larger buildings were involved in the trade in one form or another, especially when noted the chequered fortunes of the businesses over time. The old malthouses here were working from the mid eighteenth century onwards right up until 2004 (although the present structures dates from the late nineteenth). Since then the buildings have been extensively adapted to provide residential opportunities.
