Post subject: Westport cobbler retires
Westport cobbler retires
ALMOST half a century of hammering and stitching came to an end last Friday when Joe Cameron dusted down his overcoat for the last time in his shop near The Octagon in Westport. His cobbler shop was the last surviving traditional craft workshop in Westport town, and its closure marks the end of an era when people earned a living from time-honoured artisan trades in the town.
Joe Cameron got involved with his life trade when he began working in the old clog factory on the Distillery Road in Westport many decades ago. When this closed down he spent a period working with Tim Sullivan a well-known shoemaker on James Street before going to Naas,

, where he also worked in the shoe business for a short period. Upon returning to Westport he was asked to repair a shoe by someone and thus began a career that has lasted last week,

, with Joe skill clearly evident in the fact that his business has never waned,

, even in an era much different to that in which he began mending shoes.
After initially setting up on High Street,

Then Cathaoirleach of the Council, Tereasa McGuire,

In recognition of his long service to the town of Westport,

Joe was born on Peter Street and now lives at St Mary Crescent with his wife Carmel. The couple have three daughters, one son and several grandchildren,

His brother-in-law is Castlebar town councillor Johnny Mee,

known him for over 50 years and he still comes to visit us every week with all the news from Westport, said Mr Mee. Cameron family go back seven or eight generations in Westport and Joe is the quintessential Covey and is proud of the town and the people in it. His interest in his birthplace has never waned. />
Johnny describes Joe as a quiet, unassuming family man,

an age when craftsmanship has all but disappeared Joe is one of the few left in the county, he said.
As his family grew and the world modernised, Joe continued to run his cobbler business from his small workshop at the side of O pub just off The Octagon. His workshop managed to keep its rustic old world appearance and charm over the years,

O pub (including Joe Cameron workshop) was bought recently by Westport businessman Noel Kavanagh, and now forms part of the adjoining Wyatt Hotel,

, which he owns. The premises will be renovated but will continue to run as a pub separate from the bar at the Wyatt for the foreseeable future.
However, the famous former resident will not be forgotten.
contribution to Westport has been immense and unfailing over the decades, and in order to ensure that this is remembered beyond his retirement the new bar at the Wyatt Hotel will be called Cobbler Bar as a tribute to him, said Mr Kavanagh,
