  1. Travelling Folk

    Share Share Post
    These people go through Ireland looking for a living. They are known for many years as tinkers. They have their tents along the road. They make their tents with big oilcloths.
    The men buy tins and they make cans. The men sell the tins, and in this way they buy food.
