The town also plays a role in a sporting event established in 1981; and was where a clothing manufacturer (speciality: waterproof garments) set up in 1890.

It belonged to a clothing manufacturer who wanted to sell up, and asked just 71,000 for it.

It was built and occupied by a cigar manufacturer until 1919, after which it housed a clothing manufacturer into the 1950s.

The company became the largest clothing manufacturer in the world and at one time employed 3,000.
