- Shoe-making is another old craft that has been lost in this district. Many years ago a big number of men spent their time shoe-making and at present only one man spends his time in this manner.
When a person wanted a pair of shoes he went to the shoe-maker and he measured his foot and made the shoes according that size.
There was a Tannery in Grange County Tyrone where the people took their hides to get them made into leather.
