A G LINFIELD AND SONS- A G LINFIELD LTD FROM 1941 Looking from the North to the South, Thakeham is at the double bend in the road. The first site -from 1913- was Jack Willmers Nursery, Chesswood. Mushrooms were grown in low thatched sheds. This nursery also grew chicory, fennel, lettuce and until 1982 roses and carnations. Composting was in a large shed at Town House Farm, which caused a smell problem in the area. Composting ceased c 2012. The Abingworth nursery commenced 1945. In 2013 this site was derelict and plans were in hand to build a housing estate here. In 1986 Rushfield close to Chesswood, was growing roses. In 1960 the largest mushroom growers in Europe.
