Wissington is a former hamlet in Norfolk. It is the site of British Sugar's largest sugar factory in the UK; it is also the largest in Europe. There has been a sugar factory there since 1925. None of the rest of the hamlet remains, other than the name. British Sugar has opened the UK's first bioethanol plant here.
