Water flowed from the Loch Thom or Great Reservoir on 16th April 1827 to the eastern line of falls. A great technical feat, at the time of opening there were 4 mills on the 19 falls on the eastern line. These were James Walkinshaw's papermill, Tasker, Young and Co.'s sugar refinery, the Associated Baker's grain mill and a powerloom factory (McNab and Co.).
