About this album
In 1887 John McMurchy built a woolen mill that was powered by its own private powerhouse. Built of red brick it has since been painted over in a drab grey. With a staff of 30-35 employees, the mill’s main product was socks. During the first world war, it produced the socks used by the military. After 65 years of production, the mill was closed in 1953. The following year Hurricane Hazel would destroy its dam.
