    nail making lived in a house on the Carrarona Road. There was a tanyard in Abbey lane and the man that owned it lived in Moore Street. His name was Mr Mohahan.
    An old lady who lived in town had three women coming in every day spinning flax. There were people living in Mount Carmel Road who used to weave. All the old people were very good for carding wool and spinning it and dyeing. There is only one lime kiln for burning lime in Loughrea, it is on the Carrarona Road.
