  1. (continued from previous page)
    where there were five or six shoe-makers in former times there are none to be found now. Wooden soled clogs were not made locally, but they were worn and are still worn by some and are made by machinery. Leather was made in a plce called Brideswell by a man named Tom Nally and the townsland is called ever since Pullalaghar. There was no special kind of leather. The skin from the sheep was converted to clothing and worn by old men in panse and vest.
