  1. Care of the Feet

    Share Share Post
    Long ago people used to go barefoot until they were fourteen years of age. Children go barefoot in the Summer now. Boots were repaired in this district by a man named Peter McKeigue. The trade was not in the McKeigue family. Leather was never made localy. Long ago there were a lot of bootmakers in this locality.
