Place & story
Different fortunes for local industry
Two manufactories made spades and edged tools in Leckpatrick when Samuel Lewis described the parish in 1837. He separately recorded a large bleach-green that was then unused. The Strabane Canal crossed the parish between its lower lock on the Foyle and Strabane’s quay. These details place manufacturing and an idle textile-processing site beside a transport route, without establishing that the tool factories shipped their products along the canal. [2]
