    There was a nailer's shop in town of Belturbet.
    It was carried on by Mr. Allen and his sons. They lived in Chapel Road.
    First he put a piece of iron in the fire. When it was red they cut it into the length required. Then they hit one end top make a point and the other to make a head.
    Mr. John Kennedy, Belturbet is a noted thatcher.
