  1. Folklore - Clothes Made Locally

    Share Share Post
    In this locality there was not any clothes made but there are a lot of tailors.
    Most of the tailors work in their own home but one of them was a journey-man tailor who used to go about from house to house doing work for any one who asked him but he does not go anywhere now.
    Another tailor in this locality is the "tailor Mc Keoin" who used to work in Ballinalee but whenever he used to take any intoxicating drink he used to go mad. He is now in an asylum.
