    thatching begins. The house is thatched with straw which is put in logers and is fastned down by pointing the end of sally rods or scallops and sticking them in the straw forming a semi-circle and holding the straw down. There is no need of the scraw if there is thatch on before the straw is laid on top of the old thatch.
    In Bridge St. a good many years ago there was a Pern Mill. it was a kind of a saw mill that turned out the legs of tables and chairs with carvings on them. The also used to make fittings for the old spinning mills.
    In Ireland before the creamerys began there used to be places for making churns and ferkins for butter.
    Also in every there was a black smith he used turn out nob shoes for horses but spades and nearly every implement used in a plough.
