    (continued from previous page)
    Besides paying rent, the tenant had to give the landlord so many days' work reaping or making hay.
    The landlord would sometimes give the tenant a tree for nothing to make a cart, or to roof a house.

  2. The Smith

    Share Share Post
    It was the custom that the customers would bring a load, or a couple of loads of sand each to the smith every year. This wasn't in payment for his work. It was a sort of due they gave him. He then sold it for maybe a half a crown a load. In that way he'd make a good penny on seventy or eighty loads of sand. They would bring all that much n one day from the Strand, near Clonakilty.
