During the 18th century and early 19th century coal mining was at the heart of industry in Johnstone. Working in the mines was very dangerous, however, with fires breaking out and they were often flooded. Sadly in 1860 there was a disaster at the Benston Pit where five miners were killed. The pits were subsequently closed down with mining in the Johnstone area ceased.
Johnstone grew rapidly with the thread and cotton industry with the first mill erected in 1782 on Mill Brae. The cotton industry came to an end in the late 19th century with engineering taking over as the main industry.
With the large amount of industrial development in Johnstone brought an increase in the population. In the 1930s problems of overcrowding and poor conditions forced the local authority to build new housing schemes.
