This industry has disappeared. Now such varied articles as blankets, carpets, boots, combs, and (in the neighbouring village of Burnside) paper are manufactured.
90 WESTMORLAND But tliough there is now no great industry in the county, there are several old manufactures of considerable interest. An attempt was made b)' Ruskin to revi\e the old linen industry, and for a few years hand-woven linen was made in Langdale, but the revival was not successful and the manufacture has now been removed fro...m Langdale to Coniston in tlie neighbouring county.
Another industry was the making of charcoal. The copses of the lowlands furnished excellent wood for it, and charcoal-burners were found scattered about the county. From this another industry sprang up, which still survives, namely the manufacture of gunpowder, which is carried on at Elterwatcr and near Holme.
The wood of the copses was also used for making cotton-reels or bobbins, and bobbin-mills existed at Staveley and at Troutbeck Bridge near Windermere.
