  1. Old Clothes

    Share Share Tweet
    Long ago in this district tailors used to go around from house to house sewing for people. They got a days wages every day.
    Not many people knew how to sew at that time and they used to have to get them to do all the sewing for them.
    The people used to go to the tailors houses to get things made too.
