Langans: Paddy Guthrie, Michael McCarthy, Maggie McCarthy (not related), Michael Treacy, Tommy Kenny, Maggie Carney.Owned by Pat and Jim Langans.Slogan: The noted boot and shoe people. My memory is that you went into the front shop and there were a couple of steps down to another section. Michael Tracey lived in Newtown with his brother Bob and uncle Hughie Hanlon. I believe the Treacys were related to Olivia Knight, who wrote for wrote for 'The Nation' newspaper, founded, I think, by Gavin Duffy. Olivia Knight was born at Rathbawn in Castlebar where a plaque marks her birthplace. She may have had a sister Deborah. Some of the family emigrated to Australia. Father was an engineer.
