    In the month of August every year there was a big fair held in Castleshane. There were stalls of fruit, sweets, confectionary and other articles of use. People came from far and near to buy and sell. Hucksters, pedlars and dealers in feathers and rags visited this district.

They would send the rags to paper factories to be made into paper and the feathers they would make into ticks and pillows.
