A sugar factory was built at Sproughton in around 1926. Construction of two silos built for the British Sugar Corporation began in November 1961 and were completed in 1962. The factory closed in 2001 and most buildings, except the silos, were demolished. Between December 2017 and February 2018 the four silos were demolished and the site was redeveloped as a business park.
