Place & story
Bleaching greens and tool makers
Samuel Lewis’s 1837 account identifies large linen-bleaching greens at Derryvale, Torren Hill and New Mills in Tullyniskan parish. Together they finished about 20,000 pieces annually, chiefly for English markets; this was a combined output, rather than a separate total for each green. His account also names Coal Island, Oghran and New Mills as centres of ironworks, forges and plating mills producing spades, shovels and edge tools. The record describes several kinds of work distributed across the parish. [2]
