  2. Old Crafts - Nail-Making

    Share Share Post
    Nail-making is not carried on now. About twenty-five years ago there were two nail-makers in this district. Their names were Peter McHugh and his brother John. They made the nails from iron. They had a small anvil. They made a lot of nails. Boot-makers bought the nails and shop-keepers also bought the nails.
