- While Norton's boot-making industry was in progress Kickhams carried on the same industry on a smaller scale. They also had a saw-mill (worked by steam) where farming implements, handles, chairs, and other household furniture were made. About the year 1900 Nicholas Kickham who now resides in Ballydavid extended his business giving employment to about fifty men. Unfortunately the industry collapsed about 1905.
- If one of the ball makers offered you a ball and you took it, it meant that you would have to treat all the ball-makers which often meant an outlay of two or three shillings.
