    Grange there was a mill into which flannel and blankets and quilts were put when woven.
    Here they were thickened.
    The mill was worked by the water of the river which flowed beside it.
    The flannel was used for men's under-garments and sleeve waistcoats:
    These waistcoats were white with grey frieze in the sides and sleeves.
    My Grandfather and all the men of his time wore them.
    My Father and Mother that told me this.
