Dalry had various cloth making activities with limitted dressing and spinning of flax. The Bridgend Spinning Mill was established as a wool-spinning mill around 1820 and later enlarged to be an integrated spinning and weaving mill. From the 1840s limeworks were opened along with coal and ironstone mines. Blair Ironworks was opened in 1848 to use the local coal and ironstone - it did not last long, closing in 1870. A vitamen C chemical works was opened in Dalry around 1958.
 
A railway station was opened in 1840.
 
The Bridgend Spinning Mill mainly employed women. The government report ''Employment of Women'', issued in 1893, is indicated as detailing working conditions in the mill. It was reported that the mill employed about 600 women in worsted spinning. The town' population hadd been decreasing and, with the low wages offered by the mill, they were having problems getting young women to move to the area. Some women who worked there had to walk there daily from a distance of two to four miles. The mill closed in the 1960s.

Dalry had various cloth making activities with limitted dressing and spinning of flax. The Bridgend Spinning Mill was established as a wool-spinning mill around 1820 and later enlarged to be an integrated spinning and weaving mill. From the 1840s limeworks were opened along with coal and ironstone mines. Blair Ironworks was opened in 1848 to use the local coal and ironstone - it did not last long, closing in 1870. A vitamen C chemical works was opened in Dalry around 1958.

A railway station was opened in 1840.

The Bridgend Spinning Mill mainly employed women. The government report Employment of Women, issued in 1893, is indicated as detailing working conditions in the mill. It was reported that the mill employed about 600 women in worsted spinning. The town' population hadd been decreasing and, with the low wages offered by the mill, they were having problems getting young women to move to the area. Some women who worked there had to walk there daily from a distance of two to four miles. The mill closed in the 1960s.
