- Of late years the number of trades in the district of Kells is comparatively small when compared with the middle of the last century. This is easily accounted for, owning to the advent of machinery and mass production which practically extinguished the last trace of certain skilled workers who took such pride in thier craftmanship. Chandlers, leather-manufacturers, nailers, white-smiths, gun-smiths; all flourished in Kells some eighty-years ago. Boot-makers, blacksmits, tailors, carpenters, masons, house-painters, plasterers, bakers, for the most part descendants of tradesmen continue to follow their respective trades with a certain amount of succes.
