SMALL SHOPS


Posted by BRIANHOBAN on October 09, 2009 at 11:36:39:

Castlebar has changed so much over the years . The posting regarding Hobans shop in Newtown has rekindled thoughts of several small shops that once traded in the town and no longer exist.

These small shops provided much needed employment and indeed a social service in the town for so many years. Many of these shops became institutions in the town. they were in fact part of the social fabric of the town and deserve to be remembered.

The list below lists some of them(thought not exhaustive). Perhaps others could add to the list and perhaps recall memories of a nearly forgotten era in our social history.
