===Wool===

Wool was also locally plentiful and in the early part of the 19th century, John Paton set up a small yarn-spinning business in the town, later establishing Kilncraigs Mill. Much of the Kilncraigs complex has been demolished but a four-storey Edwardian Baroque block of 1903–1904 survives, with an extension of 1936.  The buildings were converted to Council offices by LDN architects in 2003/2004.  Patons merged with J. & J. Baldwin of Halifax in 1924 to become Paton & Baldwins Ltd.
