In days of old, the local area farmed sheep and crops and this employed a large number of people.
Nowadays, this farming is no longer labour intensive and vast tracts of country side are farmed by about 4 people. They are all called Graham.
Glass house crops was also big to the north of Littlehampton. Winding down now as the production of food is less important than building new houses, this industry never the less supports large numbers of illegal migrant workers who are happy to work for £4 and 1 Kilo of King Edward potatoes a day.
Periodically, the nurseries are raided by immigration officials who have the sad duty to inform the shocked owners that their work force is predominantly illegal.
