Place & story
Robert Mills remembers
National Museums NI’s catalogue of a 2002 interview with Robert Mills records the wider markets served by the Moygashel textile business. During the Second World War, Stevensons supplied aircraft linen and hosepipes; narrow strips of linen were wound on drums for repairing damaged aircraft. Mills also recalled a later relationship with Harland & Wolff, supplying curtain and upholstery fabrics for passenger ships including Canberra. These are recollections summarised in the museum catalogue, rather than newly examined company accounts. [2]
