Re: Woollen mill

there is a comment in a letter from Rydings to Ruskin www.manxnotebook.com/mannin/v7p407.htm

Laxey,

October 15, 1879 My Dear Master,

I presume that you have before now received from the printer the statement of the guild accounts; I returned the corrected proofs to the printer early in August with instructions to send copies to you. But it is more especially about our woollen manufacture that I wish to say a few words to you. Since I saw you at Brantwood, and had the talk with you about our woollen business, I have been looking for a place convenient to carry forward our work, and I think I have come across one that will just answer our purpose. The building in question is an old corn-mill with an abundant supply of water-power. A quarter-share of it has been offered for sale and knowing that it would just suit our purpose after considerable alterations in the buildings have been made, I purchased this quarter-share for myself and it is now owned by myself and two other persons here

thus looking in north side sales should easily find this
