Wallis Pond
Apart from agriculture, the dominant past industry was carried out at Wallis Woollen Mill; believed to have been built in the late 18th Century.
A linen press from this era remains at the mill. Earliest records are of the Davies family who ran the Mill until the 1880s. The last to weave at the Mill were the Redpaths who also dyed wool with natural pigments until 2001. The Mill is fed by an underground leat from Spittal Brook. About 50 years ago the water wheel was replaced by an internal turbine. Wallis Pond was created to provide a reservoir for the Mill. Prince Charles visited the site when it was restored in 1978.
There was a forge in Wallis on the east side of the moor, replaced in the 20th Century by one at the Garn.
