The junction was home to many early industries such as Henry Hough’s windmill which produced cereal products, a soap candle works, the Waverley Brewery, a dairy and a Boot Factory. It has always been a popular residential and convenient one-stop shopping precinct and has recently benefited from extensive modernisation
