Newton Bushel was also a convenient place for travellers to stay. Torre Abbey was dissolved in 1539 and ownership of Wolborough was granted to John Gaverock, who built himself a new house at Forde. </p><p>The twin markets of Newton Abbot and Newton Bushel continued until they were merged in 1633 as a Wednesday weekly market under the control of Bradley Manor. By 1751 it had been joined by a smaller Saturday market and three annual fairs: a cattle fair on 24 June, a cheese and onion fair in September, and a cloth fair on 6 November. The markets continued to expand, and in 1826 a new market place was built. But over the next 50 years the buildings became dilapidated, and a new <a href="/wiki/Corn_exchange" title="Corn exchange">corn exchange</a> (now the Alexandra Theatre) and market hall were completed in 1871.<sup id="cite_ref-NHLE_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NHLE-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Wool_and_leather">Wool and leather</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Newton_Abbot&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Wool and leather"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In medieval times Devon was an important sheep-rearing county. Many towns had their own wool and cloth industries and Newton Abbot had woollen mills, <a href="/wiki/Fulling" title="Fulling">fullers</a>, dyers, spinners, weavers and tailors. In particular, <a href="/wiki/Fellmonger" title="Fellmonger">fellmongering</a> (where wool is completely removed from the sheepskin) was well established in the town. In 1724 <a href="/wiki/Daniel_Defoe" title="Daniel Defoe">Daniel Defoe</a> wrote that Newton Abbot had a thriving <a href="/wiki/Serge_(fabric)" title="Serge (fabric)">serge</a> industry that sent goods to <a href="/wiki/Holland" title="Holland">Holland</a> via <a href="/wiki/Exeter" title="Exeter">Exeter</a>. The annual cloth fair was the town's busiest fair. Over the 19th century, Vicary's mills became an important employer in the town and by the 1920s was employing over 400 men. However, by 1972 business had declined and the works closed down.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Associated with the woollen industry was the leather business. Hides left after the fell-mongering process were made into leather. Tanners, boot and shoemakers, glovers and saddlers were all in business in Newton Abbot. As with the wool industry, business flourished over 600 years until after the Second World War.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_Newfoundland_trade">The Newfoundland trade</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Newton_Abbot&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: The Newfoundland trade"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 1583 <a href="/wiki/Humphrey_Gilbert" title="Humphrey Gilbert">Humphrey Gilbert</a>, a local adventurer landed at <a href="/wiki/St._John%27s,_Newfoundland_and_Labrador" title="St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador">St. John's</a> in <a href="/wiki/Newfoundland_and_Labrador" title="Newfoundland and Labrador">Newfoundland</a> and claimed the area as an English colony. The fisheries quickly developed. Between 1600 and 1850 there was a steady trade between Newton Abbot and the cod fisheries off Newfoundland. Every year men from the town would gather at the <i>Dartmouth Inn</i> or <i>Newfoundland Inn</i> in East Street in the hope of being hired for a season's work. In the autumn the dried cod was stored in depots and sometimes used as payment. There was a considerable economic spin-off from this trade. Fish hooks, knives, waterproof boots and rope were all made in the town. The Rope Walk in East Street just a few yards from the Cider Bar still exists, together with the names Newfoundland Way and St John's Street. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Ball_clay_and_the_Stover_Canal">Ball clay and the Stover Canal</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Newton_Abbot&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Ball clay and the Stover Canal"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Just 2 miles (3.2 km) north-west of Newton Abbot lie the large <a href="/wiki/Ball_clay" title="Ball clay">ball clay</a> workings of the <a href="/wiki/Bovey_Basin" class="mw-redirect" title="Bovey Basin">Bovey Basin</a>. The main workings are on the eastern outcrop of the deposits at <a href="/wiki/Kingsteignton" title="Kingsteignton">Kingsteignton</a>, which can lay claim to being the centre of Britain's ball-clay industry. The Bovey Basin took millions of years to fill from rivers that flowed out of <a href="/wiki/Dartmoor" title="Dartmoor">Dartmoor</a>. The sediments included clay derived from the decomposed <a href="/wiki/Granite" title="Granite">granite</a>. The natural deposition has resulted in clay that is purer and more refined than many others. Clay is used in a wide range of products such as <a href="/wiki/Bricks" class="mw-redirect" title="Bricks">bricks</a>, <a href="/wiki/Tyres" class="mw-redirect" title="Tyres">tyres</a>, <a href="/wiki/Porcelain" title="Porcelain">porcelain</a>, <a href="/wiki/Medicines" class="mw-redirect" title="Medicines">medicines</a> and <a href="/wiki/Toothpaste" title="Toothpaste">toothpaste</a>. </p><p>Kingsteignton clay was being used to make pipes around 1680. By 1700, it was being shipped from <a href="/wiki/Teignmouth" title="Teignmouth">Teignmouth</a>, and its utilisation by the famous potter <a href="/wiki/Josiah_Wedgwood" title="Josiah Wedgwood">Josiah Wedgwood</a> bred success. The clay was extracted by simply digging out the lumps on courses; rather like peat cutting. The bulky clay was transported by <a href="/wiki/Packhorse" title="Packhorse">packhorse</a> to Hackney Quay at Kingsteignton, then loaded onto barges for shipment down the Teign Estuary, where it was transferred to small ships bound for Liverpool and other ports. </p><p>Towards the end of the 18th century, the ball-clay industry was steadily expanding. A local landowner, <a href="/wiki/James_Templer_(canal_builder)" title="James Templer (canal builder)">James Templer</a>, built the <a href="/wiki/Stover_Canal" title="Stover Canal">Stover Canal</a> in 1792 to help ship clay along the canal and the Teign Estuary from the <a href="/wiki/Bovey_Basin" class="mw-redirect" title="Bovey Basin">Bovey Basin</a> to the port of <a href="/wiki/Teignmouth" title="Teignmouth">Teignmouth</a>. Coal, manure and agricultural produce were also shipped along the canal. James Templer's father, also called James Templer, purchased the 80,000-acre (320 km<sup>2</sup>) Stover Estate near Newton Abbot in 1765. Granite from <a href="/wiki/Hay_Tor" class="mw-redirect" title="Hay Tor">Hay Tor</a> was used to build Stover House which was completed by 1792. <a href="/wiki/George_Templer" title="George Templer">George Templer</a>, son of James Templer (the second) and brother of Rev. John Templer, rector of <a href="/wiki/Teigngrace" title="Teigngrace">Teigngrace</a>, built the <a href="/wiki/Haytor_Granite_Tramway" title="Haytor Granite Tramway">Haytor Granite Tramway</a>, which had rails cut from granite, connecting the granite quarries of <a href="/wiki/Haytor" title="Haytor">Haytor</a> to the canal. This was completed by 1820 and enabled large quantities of granite to be transported for major works like the new <a href="/wiki/London_Bridge#"New"_(19th_century)_London_Bridge" title="London Bridge">London Bridge</a> which opened in 1825. However, George Templer overspent his resources and was forced to sell Stover House, Stover Canal, the Haytor Granite Tramway and most of the rest of the family's considerable estates to <a href="/wiki/Edward_St_Maur,_11th_Duke_of_Somerset" title="Edward St Maur, 11th Duke of Somerset">Edward St Maur, 11th Duke of Somerset</a>, in 1829. The canal was extended to cope with this, and the industry fared well until 1858 when they were out-competed by the more economic Cornish coastal quarries. The Stover canal reverted to shipping ball clay, but had ceased to do so by 1939. </p><p>The ball-clay industry is now highly mechanised and successful.
