  1. Old Crafts

    Share Share Post
    There are many old crafts known by the people of this locality such as spinning, it was a very common in our place, long ago they made blankets & many useful things. Some of the blankets are still in use there are some of which my Grandmother & my Grandfather wove. The spinning wheel is still on the loft at home.
    Boot Making
    There was two men our next door neighbours namely John Lavin & Tom Lilly both are dead now. They could make boots they bought the leather & made them. If the people in the people around bought the leather they made them for them.
    Carpenting
    There is a man the very next door neighbour to us & he is a great carpenter namely Tom Lilly not the boot maker. He can make everything.
