- Care of the feetIn Summer some boys go barefooted but girls do not.
These boys go barefooted to save their shoes and others go for the good of their feet.
There are two shoemakers in this district Barney Hunt Seafield and John Moran Duncormick
People say there was a tannery where Burrells are now living.
The yard is still used as a yard and is called the "tan-yard".
Clogs are worn in this district especially during the wet days in Winter.
Clogs are not made in this district.
An old man who used to lodge at Nolans Rath used to go bare-footed in Summer and Winter and he used to be called "bare-footed Jimmy".
About sixty years ago boys used never wear boots Summer or Winter.Chrissie Cleary
