- (continued from previous page)few years ago, the blood of that man was on the side of the road. There was a cross put there on the spot where he fell.
- About a century ago weaving was very common. There was a weaving factory in Leitrim long ago belonging to a man named Broderick. there was also another weaver in Finnerty's mill. His name was Greene. First they used to spin the thread and then bring it to the weavers to make flannel out of it. If they wanted to make a quilt they would colour it. Some of them had quilting frames in their own homes and the women themselves would quilt it. If they wanted to make frieze they would bring it to Ms Donagh's thickening mill. This is still working.
