Place & story
Weaving and finishing
Many inhabitants of Lisnadill wove linen for manufacturers and bleachers in the surrounding district, according to Samuel Lewis in 1837. Two large bleach-greens together finished an average of 56,000 pieces annually for English markets. The figure belongs to the two finishing establishments collectively, rather than to each one or to an individual weaver. Lewis’s account describes the parish as it stood at that date. [2]
