Memories of a Castlebar warrior

The Museum of Country Life in Turlough never fails to come up with events and topics of wide public appeal and few more so than a fascinating and heart-warming account of the travelling shop of years ago
The talk attracted a large audience to the Museum, since the travelling shop was an integral part of rural life in Mayo right through the 30s and in some areas up to the present day.
The talk was given by Michael John Gallagher (pictured), who himself operated a travelling shop from 1947 to 1982. His area operated from Ballylahan Bridge to Foxford, and was bounded on its outer edges by Kilkelly, Knock and Bohola. He had started the business with a horse-drawn van, soon progressing to a small motor van and in later years moving on to a custom-built, specially-equipped large vehicle.
