There was a flax mill and a corn mill in Killina in years gone by. There was also a man for making frieze. There was a man in Killina village that used to make blankets The wool was combed and spun into thread, and sent to him, and he used to make blankets out of it. One blanket that he used to make was worth ten in those days. This man died fifty years ago It was a loss to the people round the district, because they could get frieze and blankets made.
