  1. Folklore - The Care of the Feet

    Share Share Post
    The people began to wear boots at different ages. The children in the locality go barefoot in Summer. The water that the feet are washed with is thrown out. There are no boots made or repaired in the district. There was one shoemaker in the district whose name was Mr James Peacock. My father's Great Grandfather was a shoemaker. There were more clogs worn long ago than now. There are a few people wear them now. There was no leather made in the district.
