GO TO SCWS▶▶

Kilsyth was dominated by weaving around 1800 wth coal mining and quarrying beginning around 1780 with the opening of the nearby Forth Clyde Canal. By 1850 Kilsyth was dominated by mining and quarrying. The first Kilsyth railway station opened in 1878 followed by another station on a seperate line in 1888. By the 1920s there were seven pits in and around Kilsyth. The second train station closed in 1935 and the first train station closed in 1951. Dumbreck Colliery, the last major coal mine, closed in 1963.

KILSYTH CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY 1861-1992

The society was formed in 1861.

The society joined the CWS 1992.

In September 1920 the society gave notice that it was opening an office in Main Street specifically for the sale of tokens and drawings in cash[1]. After this date tokens would no longer be sold in the Backbrae Street or Townhead Street stores. The indication is that people were buying tokens to enusre that money given was spent at the co-operative. In 1918 a domestic servant had her purse stolen or lost with 1s 2d money and 18s worth of co-operative tokens in it[2]. In another case in 1922 a woman was convicted for sending her daughter to the store to obatin 30/- in tokens by pretending to be someone else obtaining them on behalf of a woman who was not well[3].

There is a report that a dentist, who visitted Kilsyth weekly, charged 4/- for a painless tooth extraction in 1914. This could be paid in cash or tokens.
