Place & story
Different industrial fortunes
At Lisnegat in Templemartin parish, Samuel Lewis recorded a cotton factory employing about one hundred people in 1837. Elsewhere in the parish, a distillery at Mosstown had subsequently become a brewery, but that business had already ceased. The two entries give different industrial histories within Kinalmeaky: continuing textile employment at one locality, and a change of trade followed by closure at another. [2]
