  1. Travelling Folk

    Share Share Post
    Tinkers stay a good deal in this district. These tinkers live mostly in caravans. Some of them are very old customers. They visit some people's houses very often.
    Most of these tinkers buy tin in the shop, and then they make vessels and go around from house to house selling them to the people.
