Redding Disaster Relief Fund
|
The Redding Pit Disaster Relief Fund was set up by the Provost of Falkirk and the proprietor of the Falkirk Herald a few days after the Pit 23 of Redding Colliery was flooded in September 1923. The fund supported the survivors of the flood, some of whom were trapped in the mine for up to nine days, and supported the dependants of the men who died. The fund was administered by the Falkirk Burgh Chamberlain and was wound up in 1966.

Bankier Distilling Co
|
Proprietors Messrs James & John Risk Bankier was built in 1828 but was closed in 1928. The maltings were used until 1971 and the buildings were demolished in 1981. The distillery drew its water from Doups Burn. This was the focus of a legal case, John Young & Co versus Bankier Distillery Co (1893). It has become an international landmark in environmental law. Young & Co began pumping water out of their coal mine into Doups Burn. The water was still fit to drink, but its chemical composition was changed making it no longer suitable for whisky production. The distillery won the case, stopping the pumping.
