Wincanton has long been associated with the milk industry, having this site as the focus for the business. Cow and Gate were the main employer in the twentieth century and built a large factory and office complex here on The Tythings. However, industry changes have brought about the closure and the site is being run down. A few small opportunist firms have used some of the redundant units but they will have to go soon. The site will be converted to residential use and a large project is in hand. The new name for it will be Dancing Green.
