  2. Trades and Occupations in Gleann Fraoigh

    Share Share Post
    The people of Glenree all live by tilling the land.
    The land is mostly reclaimed bog and is in parts marshy and stony. The men and boys cross to England when the crops are set and do not return till the end of Autumn.
    Though there are now no special trades carried on, this was not the case about two or three generations ago.
    There were then spinners, weavers, masons, tailors and carpenters carry on their trades in Glenree.
