  1. The principal ancient industry was weaving with a spinning wheel. Spinning was done by a woman who lived in Thunder Hill, Termonfeckin. She got the wool from the farmers, spun it and put it on cards.
    Spinning was an industry of Baltray over a hundred years ago. It is so long discontinued that there is no person living who can related anything of its nature or remuneration derived from the spinning.
