025 | A good sized manufactory at "Croy Station" for making lint &c. from Flax. It is the property of Mr. Lead bett[er.] There is a Lint Mill at "Lenzie Mill" (Trace 3. 25-12) and another at Tannoch (Trace 3. 26-9) which do the same description of work as this, but the terms are different, merely from this Mill (at Croy), while in use, having a different process in the manufacturing of the Lint by Steeping &c. the flax. The "Old Spade or Lint Mill", on this Plan, is, like the same sort of Mill at Lenzie & at Tannoch, never spoken of as a "Flax Mill". This Mill at Croy, which was worked by Engines is always spoken of as a "Flax Mill", although wrought for the same purpose as the others. It has not been in use for two years |
