Place & story
Flour and linen in the parish
Water from the Arigadeen powered large flour mills at Ballinaroher in Templequinlan parish, according to Samuel Lewis in 1837. He named their proprietor as J. Hayes and reported annual production of 6,000 barrels of flour, chiefly shipped to England. The same account records weaving of coarse linen cloth elsewhere in the parish. These activities accompanied farming: Lewis described continued use of a heavy wooden plough and extensive cultivation by spade. [2]
