- Long ago there lived in the townland of Ardlougher a weaver named John Conwell. He used to make woollen thread into flannel and blankets and flaxen thread into linen. On his loom the weaver wove the thread into cloth.
In former times spinners were very plentiful. In every house nearby there was a spinner. They used to make the wool into thread and then send it to the weaver. The women spun the wool into thread by a spinning wheel.
