    Share Share Post
    Now - a - days there are not so many tailors in the district as long ago, there only remains about three or four.
    The names of the tailors in this district are Michael Kelly, Briny McKenna, Thomas Campbell & Mr Mc Ginnity.
    Michael Kelly of Tamlet who is 86 years old does not do so much tailoring as he did long ago.
    Mr Mc Ginnity who lives in a little cottage in Legacurry still makes clothes.
    Thomas Campbell lives in the townland of Anktell Grove. He came from the town land of Tyholland near Middleton in Co. Armagh. He is not long here now.
    The tailor does not stock cloth, the person who wants the clothes made brings it with them. The cloth used are serges and tweeds.
